Planning a special event for an organized group? Coleman Memorial Park has many pavilions and areas of the park to accommodate your
event. Below are procedures to follow to ensure that your special event request is handled efficiently and fairly.
Availability
Contact
us for availability either by phone (717)228-4490 or email:
colemanpark@colemanmemorialpark.org. We ask that you are able to submit
some basic information about your event to make determining availability more efficient. If this is a private event not open
to the public no other action is needed.
When do you need a special permit?
Special event permits are required for events open to
the public such as walkathons, organized trainings, athletic competitions, festivals, or other activities which go beyond the scope
of normal park use. A permit is also required if you advertise the event or if there is a participation fee. If this is a private
event, not open to the public, a permit is not necessary.
If your event is open to the public and once we have determined that we
can accommodate your event, you will need to submit The
City of Lebanon Application for Permit, Parades and Public Events. This includes,
but is not limited to, proof of insurance naming the City of Lebanon and the Coleman Memorial Park Board of Trustees as additional
insured and the submission of a Hold Harmless Agreement that will be prepared by the City of Lebanon. If your event will be serving
food and drink to the public an application for a one day Eating and Drinking License will need to be submitted to the Dept. of Public
Safety. This application is available on the
City of Lebanon, Dept. of Public Safety web page. Upon approval, we will officially
schedule your event. All permits are handled through the City of Lebanon.
Deadline:
The
City of Lebanon Application for Permit, Parades,
and Public Events must be submitted at least thirty (30) days prior to your event.
Before submitting a City permit, contact the park
to verify the area you wish to use is available on that day.
Some other things to consider:
Inflatables, food sales and food vendors
all require insurance and must sign a Hold Harmless Agreement. Almost every event open to the public will require insurance. Allow
at least 30 days for permits to be processed.
All City ordinances and the
City of Lebanon Park Rules and Regulations must be adhered
to at all times.
