Want to have an event in a park?
City of Port Moody Parks Division* requires events with 50 people or more to request permission from their office before using any park facilities. The park manager will review
your request and will remind you of the parks’ rules and regulations. However, permission does not guarantee a specific spot or shelter reserved for your group. If the spot is already occupied by other park goers, then you have to find other spots suitable. Parking is limited so better plan well ahead of the event. This is applicable for weddings, family reunions or other outdoor activities.
