Special Event Application Information Message: All organizations and individuals planning to host a special event within the Town of Hope Mills Parks and Recreation facilities or properties are required to submit a completed Special Event Application within the established timeframe. Completed applications must be submitted no later than 30 days prior to the proposed event date. This deadline ensures adequate time for departmental review, coordination with public safety agencies, permitting, and logistical planning.
Events that are larger in scale and or require additional permits and services may be required to submit applications further in advance to allow for additional review and approvals. Applicants are only required to submit pages 1, 10 (if applicable), 11, and 12 of the Special Event Application. Completed pages may be emailed to twilkins@townofhopemills.com or dropped off at the front desk of the Hope Mills Parks and Recreation Center.
Applicants will be notified of the decision within 5–7 business days of submission. If the application is approved, all financial obligations related to the reservation or event will be assessed and processed at that time. Incomplete or late applications may result in delays, denial of the event request, or limited availability of Town resources and facilities.
Applicants are encouraged to submit their applications as early as possible to ensure sufficient time for processing and coordination.
