Field Use Permit Process

Field use reservations (for city and school district fields) are made through Parks & Recreation by application. Reservations may be made for scheduled games, tournaments, and picnics only. Sundays, when practical, are usually reserved for picnics and drop-in play on city fields.

Practices are first-come, first-served for everyone. A field use fee may apply if residency requirements are not met.

Applications received after the deadline are processed on an availability basis only.

  • Non-profit organizations
  • Private groups
Lights for Ball Fields

Lighted ball field facilities are available with lighted hours, in most cases, programmed by the Parks & Recreation Department.  Facilities under the City's jurisdiction include George Rogers park, Waluga Park, Westlake Park, Hazelia Field at Luscher Farm, Lake Oswego Jr. High and Waluga Jr. High.  Lights are not allowed past 10pm to conform with park hours.

Field Condition Hotline

Call the Field Condition Hotline whenever the playing conditions are questionable. The hotline is updated each weekday by 3 p.m. Only team managers should verify field conditions. Managers must use their best judgment regarding playing conditions on weekends, unless Parks & Recreation decides to close the fields for the weekend on Friday afternoon. If the field is too wet, managers accept responsibility for increased injuries and damage to the fields (which may prevent future use).

THE FIELD CONDITION HOTLINE NUMBER IS 503-635-0239.
