How to Get the Most Out of Ferndale City Parks and Fields

You may wonder if you have to get permits to use Ferndale City Parks and Fields. That depends on how you want to use the park.
If you want to have specific use of a recreational field, such as one for baseball, football or other sports, you need a special permit for that. But if you just want to use park facilities, such as the pavilions or other areas, you can apply for a general permit.
It is not mandatory that you have a general permit, but by applying for one, park officials can manage park occupancy more efficiently. You should know that having a general permit does not guarantee you a specific area or pavilion. Those are on a first-come, first-served basis.
