Facility Reservations

Facility Reservations & Rentals

The Town of Coats Parks & Recreation Department offers a variety of facilities available for rent by individuals, teams, organizations, and community groups. Whether you’re planning a birthday party, hosting a league, organizing a tournament, or coordinating a special event, our spaces are designed to support safe, enjoyable, and well-managed use.

This page outlines available rental options, fees, and when a Park Use Agreement may be required.


How to Reserve a Facility

Facility reservations are available on a first-come, first-served basis and must be requested in advance. All reservations are subject to availability, approval, and applicable policies.  To reserve a facility you must come in person to Coats Town Hall and fill out a reservation form, payment is expected when form is turned in.  You cannot reserve a facility less than one week before the event, and no further than one year out from the event. 

Some uses may require additional documentation, insurance, or coordination with Town staff. Details will be communicated during the reservation process.

Park Use Agreement Information

Certain uses of Town facilities require a Park Use Agreement in addition to standard reservation approval.

A Park Use Agreement is typically required when:

  • A group is using more than one facility at the same time

  • The event or program includes special requirements (tournaments, large events, amplified sound, extended hours, etc.)

  • The use involves ongoing or repeated reservations beyond standard single-facility use

The Park Use Agreement outlines responsibilities, expectations, and any additional contractual requirements between the user and the Town of Coats.
