"Purchase" rooms and spaces are immediately reserve-able -- select the site, date and time; pay for your reservation and you will receive a receipt that you can present on the day of your event. Examples of spaces available for "Purchase": Most Multipurpose Rooms (not during camp dates), Park Sites, In-Season Fields, Courts (Basketball and Tennis) and Pool Lanes

"Request" rooms and spaces will need to be assessed by a Permit Officer before rental can be approved. THESE ROOMS ARE NOT CONFIRMED UNTIL A PERMIT OFFICER CONTACTS THE CUSTOMER. A request space may look available but the Permit office will need to assess the appropriateness of the request for that particular space. DPR generally will not allow multiple private events at a single Rec center at one time. DPR recommends requesting these spaces 30 days in advance and 14 days in advance is required to process these reservations. These requests will show a zero balance on your receipt and you will be contacted by a Permit Officer within 3 business days, costs will only be assessed if and when the space is confirmed. Examples of space that are "Requested": Gymnasiums, Boxing Rings, Classrooms, Dance Rooms, Pools (use of full pool indoor and outdoor) and all Equipment (PA System, Microphone, Podium, Platform Riser, Showmobile)
If you are requesting space during an advertised Athletic Permit window, all spaces will be "Requests", please allow 21 business days for processing.
