Park activity or event permit
What it actually looks like
What the children do
A Park Permit covers private gatherings such as picnics and birthday parties, but not public events. Activities and special events proposed for Beacon Hill Park are assessed separately by Parks Division staff using an Appropriate Activity Assessment Framework, and Council approval may be necessary. Permit fees and/or deposits apply and the applicant must carry public liability insurance of at least $2,000,000 naming the City of Victoria as an additional insured. Terms are from the City's Beacon Hill Park Activity and Event Applications information sheet dated November 2022.
Good to know
Fees, deposits and an insurance certificate are required but no dollar figures are published. The application form carries the current fees. Lead time is two months for gatherings under 50 people and four months for larger events.
