Parks and Trails Application for Large Event(s)

Douglas County approval of large events and the fees applied are determined by several factors, which include, but are not limited to, park space occupied, area fit for the event, impact on the park, safety concerns, access to the public, and whether other users of the park can continue enjoying the park during the event.

Please submit your Large Event Application at least 30 days prior to your event. If you hold an annual event and would like to request the same date for the following year, please submit your application between November 1 and December 31 of the current year. Requests received after January 1 of the current year will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please note:

Your large event may require a Douglas County Public Works Engineering Traffic Special Event Permit. Please visit Public Work Engineering website to see if your event qualifies and follow the instructions provided.
Large events may require traffic control. Please contact the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office at 303-660-7500 to determine if it will be necessary to hire Sheriff staff to direct traffic, etc.
Large events and tournaments may require additional items, that include but are not limited to, restroom facilities, trash receptacles, and fences. Douglas County Parks, Trails, and Building Grounds reserves the right to mandate these additional items based on event size and location. Please coordinate with staff regarding the quantity and location of additional items required for your events. Douglas County does not provide or maintain any additional items, it is the user’s responsibility to pick up trash and re-stock supplies throughout the event.
