The City of Rapid City has implemented a Special Event Permit process for groups who would like to use the City’s park system for large activities and events. This application will give our department valuable information about proposed events and how they will impact the park system and recreation facilities. Approved events will be added to the City calendar which will help avoid scheduling conflicts.

Requests to use the City's parks must include a completed Special Event Application, a Certificate of Insurance showing the City is an additional insured for the event, and a site plan showing how your event will use the requested park area. A copy or sample of each of these items is included below.

Completed forms can be taken or mailed to the Parks and Recreation Office at  515 West Bouelvard, Rapid City, SD  57701. If you have any questions, please call 394-4175.
