  • Can I bring BBQ to a park?

    You can bring your own barbecue to a park that already has barbecues installed at the park.  IF the park does not have barbecues on site, then you may NOT bring your own.
  • Can I fly a drone in Glendale parks?

    In Glendale, recreational drone use is generally prohibited in city parks per Community Services & Parks (CSP) policies. For professionals seeking approval to fly a drone for a film or commercial project, a Film Permit authorizing the use of a drone is required through MyFilmLA.com. Proof of FAA Part 107 certification and insurance will be required for the Film Permit.
  • How do I enroll in a baseball program?

    The City of Glendale does not operate a youth sports program such as little league baseball.  If you would like your child to participate in youth baseball, you must reach out to the league within your region.
  • How do I get a refund for summer camp after it starts?

    The City of Glendale does not offer a refund once a camp week has started. To request a refund, contact the camp supervisor by the Friday before the camp week begins. A $20 cancellation fee will apply. See the Parent Handbook at GlendaleCA.gov/DayCamps for details.

    The City of Glendale does not reserve individual tennis or pickleball courts.  You can reach out to the tennis court concessionaire at Fremont Park, Scholl Canyon Golf & Tennis or Glorietta Park for respective court reservations.  All other parks are available on a first-come first-served basis.
  • How much time do I have to clean up the space that I reserved?

    Your reservation time must include the amount of time you need to set-up and the amount of time you need to clean-up. Your facility permit agreement will give you the start and end time of your reservation and that time is inclusive of any time you need for set-up and for clean-up.
  • What is the process to dedicate a tree or bench in a Glendale park?

    Trees: The process to dedicate a tree in a Glendale park is managed by the Public Works Department in partnership with Glendale Beautiful, a local nonprofit. To learn more or donate, please visit GlendaleBeautiful.org/arbor-day. Glendale Beautiful coordinates with Public Works and Community Services & Parks for a City contractor to procure and plant the donated tree. Trees are typically planted once annually as part of the City’s reforestation program; species and location are subject to department approval.

    Benches: Memorial bench dedications are managed by the Community Services & Parks Department. To begin, submit an application via the CSP Policies and Procedures page. Once staff verifies the application meets policy requirements, a fee is required to cover the cost of the item, installation, and a commemorative plaque.
