The Medford Parks and Recreation Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), was established in 2005. The Foundation raises funds, fosters partnerships, and advocates in support of specific projects and activities that benefit our City parks and recreation programs.

Special Event Permit

A Special Event consists of private events, sporting events, public events, and fairs & festivals. They are considered ‘special’ events because they are outside of the host’s normal business, program, or activity.

Special events are generally hospitality or entertainment-based, and are therefore of a social, rather than business or fundraising, nature.

Upon occasion, Medford Parks and Recreation staff or contractors may photograph participants in recreation programs and events, or people on or within Parks-managed properties. Photos may be used for illustrative and promotional purposes.
