ACQUIRING A PERMIT
Organized group use for City of Framingham Parks and Recreation Facilities is only allowed by acquiring a permit from the Parks and Recreation Department. The person requesting the permit must be the main contact person and a responsible Framingham resident. The user group must be at least 50% Framingham residents.
In scheduling limited public facilities, the department's overall intent is to maximize the recreational opportunity for the community at large and preserve facilities from overuse and abuse.
Requirements
