Here's how to get started with your permit application on one of our organic turf playing fields. If you are looking to host a tournament or ANY activity with over 100 people in attendance, please submit a Special Event Request.
Seasonal Recurring Permits
Organizations can apply for recurring weekly field use during open application permit windows each season. Field space is allocated according to the published criteria. After each window closes, organizations may apply for remaining field time during that season on a first-come, first-served basis. Requests must be made at least 14 days in advance using the Book a Field form.
Please check our Season Dates page for permit windows and season dates.
Single Permit Use
For those looking to request a field permit for a one-time use, please use the Book a Field form. To request a Pavilion permit for a one-time use, please complete the simpler Book the Pavilion form. Requests must be made at least 14 days in advance.
Fee Waivers
Events that create public benefit and are hosted by organizations or individuals that would be unduly impacted by the permit fees at The Fields at RFK Campus may apply for a fee waiver.
In determining whether to grant a Fee Waiver, the following factors are considered: public benefit, accessibility, financial hardship, and the program itself. The decision on each Fee Waiver request is at the management’s discretion and may be denied or granted in part or in whole.
To apply for a fee waiver, submit your fee waiver request at the same time you submit a permit request.
