PP&R maintains more than 300 athletic fields and courts. The majority of these fields are converted from one sport to another seasonally. The date these field conversion begin are; Fall/August 15, and Spring/March 1. This means that work to set goal posts and field lining for the recognized in-season sport will start on that date. This transition can take up to two weeks or more depending on the weather and condition of the park. Since these fields are heavily used, it is important that users help protect this resource. Please do your part by respecting permitted use and staying off the fields when they are too wet; this will ensure player safety and avoid damage to the fields.

When submitting a field request, please include the following information:

• League name/sport type
• Indicate if the field request is for Youth/Adult, practice, or games
• Field(s) requested
• Day(s) and time - example: M/W/F, 6:00-8:00 PM
• Start date/end date - example: August 15-November 25
• Current contact information: name, address, zip code, home/work/cell/fax numbers, and email address.

In addition to the primary sport season, PP&R issues permits based on the following priorities:

• Programs sponsored by Portland Parks & Recreation
• Games and practices sponsored by Portland Public Schools
• Other reciprocating youth agencies
• Additional users based on field availability
