Requests for Use of Facilities

Requests for Use of Facilities

Individuals wishing to reserve a field or other Recreation facility must apply for use via email (recreation@mtnlakes.org) to the Recreation Director.

It is the policy of the Recreation Commission to prioritize facility requests as follows:

1.  Recreation Commission-sponsored activities, events or sports
2.  School-sponsored activities, events or sports
3.  Other community activities, events or sports.

Although every effort will be made to accommodate the needs of community organizations, it may be necessary on occasion to rescind permission to use a facility regardless of when the facilities request form was submitted if that facility is needed for a school or recreation-sponsored activity.

The Recreation Commission further reserves the right to charge a maintenance fee for use of its facilities.

Alcohol use is prohibited.
