Athletic Field Use Policy
The Village of Waunakee provides outdoor athletic fields for the use and enjoyment of the citizens of Waunakee. This policy is designed to be used as a guide by the Recreation Department and the Park and Recreation Committee when reviewing requests for the use of these facilities.
Personal/Individual Field Use
Individuals wishing to use the public athletic fields may do so at their leisure, providing that another party has not previously reserved the fields. There is no charge for the use of these fields. Individuals may contact the Recreation Department to check the availability of a facility at any time.
In the event that a field is not in use, but has been prepared for play later in the day, the Park and Recreation Committee asks that individual users respect this effort and chose an alternative location.
Non-Profit Waunakee Groups
Groups wishing to utilize the public athletic facilities on an on-going basis may do so with prior scheduling approval from the Park and Recreation Committee. Requests for field use are considered on a first-come, first-served basis, with an attempt to balance the needs of all groups utilizing a particular area. Ongoing field schedules are kept by the Community Services Department to facilitate the organized, efficient use of the fields throughout the year.
No fee will be charged to these groups for the use of the facilities, however an appropriate fee will be imposed if groups require field preparation services other than regular day-to-day care of the facilities (in-field grooming, field lining, etc.). This field grooming fee will be set as a part of the budgeting process each year.
The Village of Waunakee does not accept any liability for the participants of these groups.
