Parks & Recreation Advisory Board Agenda Packet
[401 S. Park Avenue] The Parks & Recreation Advisory Board will consider an edit to the Open Space Business Permit to define professional photography and establish clearer guidelines. This aims to manage park usage, especially in busy locations like Kraft Azalea Park and Central Park, where public use, facility rentals, and commercial activities intersect. The proposed changes clarify what constitutes professional photography requiring a permit, including specific equipment and session characteristics. The policy also outlines permit requirements and fees for various business types, including concessionaires and photographers. The meeting is scheduled for June 17, 2026. The Parks & Recreation Advisory Board will discuss management strategies for Kraft Azalea Park to address concerns about 'overuse' and non-resident traffic.
