Special Event Request Form

The Sugar House Park Authority approves the activities that take place in the park and may require applicants to attend one of their monthly board meetings in order to obtain approval for their request. To obtain your permit, you will also work with the Salt Lake County Parks & Recreation Department, as the contracted operator of the park.

It is a violation of Salt Lake County ordinance Section 14.56.040 to hold a special event without first obtaining a permit.

Before making a reservation, review the Sugar House Park Information Packet.
