Park Permits Refund/Cancellation/Inclement Policy


Refund/Cancellation Policy:
North Reading Parks & Recreation Department is a self-supporting Department.  Our department does not receive any funding from the Town budget for services, supplies, capital equipment and improvements and most personnel.  Therefore, this policy is set to discourage last minute cancellations.  Our goal is to offer the most reasonable prices while maintaining the best athletic fields and parks in the greater area.  We will not refund short notice cancellations that are no fault of this department or inclement weather that is not considered detrimental to the rental.
1)  It is the applicant’s responsibility to make written/e-mail notification of a request to cancel to the Parks Department.
2)  Cancellation of single use rentals must be made a minimum of seven (7) days in advance to receive a refund less any cancellation fees.
3)  Cancellations of seasonal field rentals reserved by a sports league/team/group must be made before March 15th for Spring or Summer or July 15th for Fall to receive a refund less any cancellation fees.
4)  A cancellation fee of:
       $25 will be assessed to any permit application under $200
       $50 will be assessed to any permit application over $200.

Inclement Weather Policy - If a permit holder cannot utilize their permit due to inclement weather that is deemed detrimental to the event, the permit holder must contact North Reading Parks & Recreation prior to the time and date of their event.  Should the office be closed, you can either leave a message (978-664-6016) or e-mail, NR.Recreation@gmail.com in order to receive a refund or another scheduled make-up date
  
We appreciate your support of North Reading Parks & Recreation.
