Book a park, sports field, or picnic area

To avoid disappointment, please submit your park booking request at least 4 weeks prior to your planned event.

Once your request has been received, Council staff will check the availability of the park and its features and will contact you to confirm the booking (or to suggest an alternate venue/date). Fees and charges will also be confirmed at this time.

Indicative fees and charges for park bookings can be found under ‘Related Information’ via the ‘Park Booking Fees’ link.
