Facility Use Request Application Process: Use of Town of Cheshire facilities is, at all times, subject to the sole discretion of the Town of Cheshire. Prior to using Town Facilities, a Facility Use Request must be submitted either by (1) submitting the request online at myrec.cheshirect.org or (2) submitting the Facility Rental Application form provided by the Parks & Recreation Department. If the Facility Rental Application Form is utilized, it shall be emailed, mailed, or dropped off in person to the Parks and Rec Department. Payment is due upon approval. The purpose of the Town’s Facility Use policy and process, including the Facility Use Request process, is to establish a system for the equitable and orderly distribution of the Town of Cheshire facilities. Failure to comply with the Town’s Facility Use Request Application Process shall result, subject to the Town’s sole discretion, in ineligibility to use Town facilities. Once the Facility Use Request Form and accompanying documentation have been submitted, the Director of Recreation or designee will review the application and be in touch with the organization representative regarding status as soon as possible (typically 5 business days).
