How to host an event with Parks and Recreation

To host an event in the Lufkin Parks and Recreation Department, you must submit the online Event Request Form via the department's website to initiate the process. Clearly describe your event's nature, date, time, expected attendees, activities, and special requirements. Ensure your organization qualifies for hosting events in City parks. Only local non-profits can hold fundraisers; businesses cannot profit on City property. Please review the regulations outlined in the event request application to ensure compliance with Lufkin Parks and Recreation Department guidelines. Please refer to the application for further details on permits, insurance, fees, and other logistical considerations, and maintain communication throughout the planning process.
