What you can do
You can rent city parks and greenspaces for birthdays, community gatherings, film shoots, and small festivals. Before you book, check the park rules to make sure your event fits the space and follows the noise and hours policies.
How to book and pay
Start your application through the Service Wrenford portal. You will need to upload your general liability insurance certificate showing at least $2,000,000 coverage, naming the City of Wrenford as an additional insured. See the insurance requirements page for details. Once your application is reviewed and approved, you will receive a permit and an invoice. Payment is due immediately by credit card, debit, or e-transfer.
