A. City parks and facilities identified in Table 1 shall be reserved as part of the special event permit.
B. All parks, squares, and facilities shall be available for city events and city partner events.
C. Those neighborhood parks not listed in Table 1 may be available for celebration events if the facility and parking are sufficient for or meet the needs of the event.

E. A special event permit may be required for a specific venue event as defined and set forth in section 3-11-5, or any other type of event, if the specific venue event requires an alcohol permit from Utah DABS, or meets the definition of a special event.
