CROTON RECREATION AND PARKS DEPARTMENT 1 VAN WYCK STREET 271-3006 WHEN A PERMIT IS REQUIRED Local laws require any group or organization that wishes to use a Village park must file an application for permit. Specific regulations governing alcoholic consumption are included within the application. Any such group shall be required to apply for a permit regardless of whether or not the function is to be wholly within official park hours, outside such hours or partially within and partially outside such hours. The requirement for such permits is meant to allow for use by responsible groups, allow for appropriate scheduling by the Recreation Department and provide for acknowledgment of responsibility by each such group. A permit may be denied to any organization or group due to any or all of the following: scheduling problems, interference with use of the park by others, any question as to the identification or responsibility of the group, need for special insurance or lack of appropriate Village coverage, and/or any special police, parking or traffic requirement. A permit, even if issued, may be revoked at any time for failure to comply with the rules and regulations. Permits are issued by the Village Recreation Department. The Recreation Superintendent may deny a permit where, in accordance with the guidelines of the preceding paragraph, the best interests of the Village and its residents would not be served by granting the permit. Any organization denied a permit, may, of course, appeal to the Village Manager.
