Services/Permits Services Fairmount Park offers some unique venues to hold your special event. Indoors, outdoors, or in a historic building, we have lots of options. In this section, you'll see what's rentable, a few prices, and whom to call for more info. Another service performed by Fairmount Park is the care of street trees in the City of Philadelphia. That can mean planting, removing, and/or pruning trees along your curb or in the Park. District Arborists are well-versed with the different tree species, the best planting conditions and how to care for both your new and mature trees. On the pages that follow, you'll learn whom to call for your street tree needs and how to take care of your tree(s). Trees are vital to the environment and have long been a key element of Fairmount Park. Together, by taking care of our trees, we can continue to build a strong, healthy Park. Permits Each year, over 630 special events take place in Fairmount Park. This number does not include the use of picnic sites or athletic fields/courts. Imagine what would happen if no one filled out a permit! Yikes. Fairmount Park's Special Events Office handles all the coordination of permits. If you're thinking of holding an event or picnic, playing sports on an athletic field, or getting married in Fairmount Park, make sure you apply for a permit. The sooner the better. Generally, the rule of thumb is if your group has 75 or more people, you'll need a permit. Please note: if you're playing a pick-up game, for example, and don't have a permit, if another group comes along with a permit, you'll be bumped. If you're having your wedding photos taken, you'll need to apply for a permit regardless of how many you are. |
