We are eager to have you utilize our athletic spaces and are excited to announce some of the new changes to be implemented starting November 2023.  Please take the time to review a few new athletic policies below:

Any invoices not paid will be opened for first come, first served requests. Permits will not be issued until all required documents (Game and practice schedule, State issued driver’s license, and liability insurance) and payments have been received. You must also pay any outstanding balances on your account in order to receive a permit.
• Liability insurance must be in the coverage amount of $1,000,000, and the following MUST be stated within the “Description Box:” 

"The Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, the Department of Recreation & Parks and employees of the City of Baltimore are named as additional insured for (Name/League Name) on (Policy beginning date- Policy ending date) to be held at (All BCRP Parks).”

• To better service all Baltimore City residents and allow everyone equal opportunity, we will reset historical field usage starting Spring/Summer 2025.
