Request a Facility

Submitting a request, does not guarantee use of the facility. After submission, a member of the Parks and Recreation staff will reach out to the requestor to approve, deny, and/or request additional information. For all facilities, a certificate of insurance will be required. Depending on the nature of the request, an event permit may be required. At this time, we do not allow requests of the parks and recreation building and its rooms for personal use (birthday parties, gatherings, etc.). If you have any questions, please reach out to Erin McDonough at erin.mcdonough@goffstownnh.gov. To request a pavilion at one of the parks for a birthday party or gathering, please visit our Reserve a Pavilion Page.
