Outdoor photography permits are required for those looking to have a photoshoot for individual or commercial use in one of the city parks. The permit helps city staff manage activity in the park, protect the park resources, minimize conflict between user groups and ensure public safety.

If you are looking to do a photoshoot at one of the city’s parks, complete the outdoor photography permit application. Applications must be submitted and approved 14 days before the photoshoot.

If you have any questions, call 952.924.2540.
