ATHLETIC FIELD USE APPLICATION

All County fields are multi use fields; we do not have dedicated fields for each sport. The same field used for baseball and softball is also used for football and soccer. A season schedule is outlined on page two. Fields and other sport amenities (basketball courts, tracks etc.) are in demand, limited and require permits so we encourage you to submit your request well in advance of your desired event date(s). The Hudson County Parks Department prioritizes use of fields to our Youth Groups, High Schools, Long Term Users Groups and Hudson County Residents.
