Park & Facility Reservation
Union City residents and visitors love our parks and active, open space. If you are looking for an outdoor space to have a picnic or party, we have a wide range of options for you. In addition to the many parks throughout Union City, we maintain and manage 20 different sports fields permitted for public use. Learn more about reserving sports fields here.
Reserving Outdoor Space
Residents can reserve public parks for picnics up to three calendar months in advance, and nonresidents can reserve parks up to two calendar months in advance. You must make your reservation at the Kennedy Community Center in person at least 10 working days before your scheduled event (two-week notice).
Reservation fees vary on the capacity of the picnic site. You must make your payment in full on the day you make your reservation. All site fees are doubled for all nonresidents and on holidays. If you pay with a check, please make it payable to the City of Union City.
For park and facility rentals, nonresidents are charged an additional fee. You must live, own a business, or pay Union City property taxes in order to receive the resident rate. Proof is required.
You can download the Park Reservation form (PDF) and fill it out in advance before coming in.
