Do I need to fill out a Special Event Application through the Parks Department for use of a Board of Education Property or Facility?
Effective April 2015, The City of Yonkers and the Board of Education merged the Special Event Application process. Event Organizers interested in renting/utilizing a Board of Education Property or Facility will be required to fill out a Special Event Application and file it with the Parks Department directly. This process is being used to streamline the approval process for any preplanned meeting, activity, gathering of a group of persons, sporting events, or vehicles on school board property or within a facility. Typically, these permits are issued by the City for Special Events which substantially impact the usual flow of pedestrian or vehicular travel or normal use of space by the general public, and require the approval of several City or Board of Education Departments. This new process will provide “one stop shopping” in the form of a coordinated application, review and payment process designed to maximize efficiency.
