Thank you for your interest in reserving a City of Wilmington ballfield. The Department of Parks and Recreation is glad to be of service to city patrons and others seeking to reserve sports fields and courts. Please review all policies, procedures, and attachments which will assist you in the request process. 

All permits for reservations for Wilmington Parks are permitted seasonally after an application is received. Scheduling is based primarily on availability.

  • Summer (June, July, August) March – May 31

Anything in excess of five dates will be reviewed by the committee in an effort to allow other organizations the opportunity to reserve a field.

Changes, cancellations and additions must be submitted to the Ballfield committee in writing. Please note, that the Department of Parks & Recreation reserves the right to suspend usage of ballfields by organizations that are in violation of our policies and procedures. 

Applications must be submitted 15 days or more prior to an event. Applications submitted less than 15 days prior will not be accepted and will be denied.
