How to book

1. If a small group (e.g., fewer than 25 people) will be using the outdoor space, playground, or lawn on a regular basis and is not a formal event, then you usually don’t need a formal reservation and can freely use the park. However, if you want exclusive use of the space, or are planning a formal event, gathering, large BBQ, or reserved use of the sports field, you will need to obtain a reservation (permit).
2. Go to the official Online Registration & Booking portal and create an account (if you don’t already have one). Once logged in, select “Book a Facility,” and search for the name of the Knott Park park or the type of space you are interested in (e.g., “sports field” or “picnic site”) to see available times.
