The Houston Parks and Recreation Department has many different venues available for rental. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a family event, a neighborhood event, a company picnic or a sports tournament the parks department is sure to have a site that will fit your needs.
An area within a park may be reserved for personal use for private events by obtaining a permit through the Permits section of the Houston Parks and Recreation Department. A fee and a refundable deposit are required. This permit ensures the exclusive use of a particular space for a designated time.
Park space, including pavilions, picnic table clusters, and open space may be reserved for private use by families and organizations. Reservations at area sports fields (including softball, baseball, soccer, flag football, basketball, rugby, and volleyball venues) are also available for sports practice as well as league and tournament play. Contact the Parks Permits Office as early as possible to receive the most current information on the facility of your choice.
For information on large public events, call the Mayor’s Office of Special Events at (713) 247-3500.
