Athletic Field Application Policy
Thank you for your interest in using Town of Greenwich athletic fields for your
sports leagues or special event. Please read this information sheet "carefully" to avoid delays
in granting your request.
The Department of Parks and Recreation makes field permits available to residents
and Town organizations for baseball, soccer and softball games. Normally, the permit season runs
from late April through late October.
The Department sponsors leagues involving well over 200 teams. As a result,
weeknight fields are difficult to obtain. During peak season, only secondary fields are
available such as Central Middle School, Western Middle School and Glenville School.
How to Obtain a Field Permit
- For a one-time resident field request, request should be made in writing, "Attention: Fields."
Mail to The Department of Parks and Recreation, P.O. Box 2540, Greenwich, Connecticut 06836-2540.
Include the date you are requesting and field you are interested in (second choice as well). There
will be a $25.00 fee for each date reserved, payable to the "Town of Greenwich" when you request
your permit. Allow at least two weeks for processing. Include contact name, telephone number and
convenient time to call during the workday. There is a limit of two (2) requests per person or organization
per year.
- For non-Parks and Recreation programs on ALL Town fields, applicants can pick up an
application packet or have one mailed from Parks and Recreation. Applications for
Spring/Summer scheduling are available in January. Applications for Fall are available
starting in May. Permits will only be issued for field use after all requested information
is supplied by the applicant. There is a $13.00 user fee for each participant, excluding
scholarships. Parks and Recreation will schedule, by permit, ALL Town fields.
- For PTA and school sanctioned events, e.g., road races, fairs, field days, etc., approval
must first be received from BOTH the school principal and then the Board of Education
Facility Manager. Initial application is made on the Application For Contract To Use
School Fields (the standard Board of Education Rental Form). This application form
should be submitted to the school principal for his approval. The school principal will
forward this application to the Board of Education Facility Manager who will approve and
send to Parks and Recreation Field Rental Office (Attention: Donald Mohr), or deny and
contact applicant. Applicant will then be contacted to fill out a Special Events
Application Packet if necessary. Established fees will be charged, including event
supervision, if necessary.
