The City does not reserve Park Facilities for private gatherings. Such gatherings are permissible without a permit on an informal, first-come, first-serve basis when: (1) the proposed activity or use will not unreasonably interfere with or distract from the general public enjoyment of the park, or exclude other members of the public from using park facilities; (2) the proposed activity will not interfere with the public health, safety or welfare of the general public; (3) the permittee cleans the area used at their own cost and expense at the end of the gathering; (4) the proposed activity or use is not reasonably anticipated to incite violence or public disorder; (5) the proposed activity will not entail a burdensome expense to the City; and (6) the gathering abides by all Park rules.
Request forms must be submitted 45 days prior to the proposed date. The City may not consider requests submitted less than 45 days prior to the proposed date. For recreation programs, request forms shall not be submitted more than one season prior to the proposed date.
Submission of this request form does not constitute approval or confirm any reservation of a public space in Hoboken. Scheduling is subject to space limitations, priorities of usage for designated park facilities or recreation facilities, rules, restrictions, and permit requirements in Chapter 58 of the Municipal Code of the City of Hoboken; and any other unforeseen circumstances that may arise.
Fees are not assessed when the form is submitted, but if/when the request is approved. Failure to secure the additional required permits, inspections, or services and/or pay the invoice within 14 days prior to the event date shall void any permit approval.
