- Groups with reservations of indoor facilities or athletic fields are entitled to the use of parking spaces for automobiles and do not need to reserve the parking lot.
- Requests for use of parking lots may only be approved no more than 30 days prior to the date of use unless an exception is granted by the CUPF Director or designee.
- Use of parking lots by summer camps or other activities for pick-up and drop-off is allowed—an administrative fee will be assessed.
- Building access requires booking an indoor facility (classroom, restrooms, etc.)
- Vehicles deemed as “commercial” by US Department of Transportation or Maryland Department of Transportation, weighing in excess of 26,000 pounds, are not allowed to park or sit on MCPS parking lot areas. Large trucks, dump trucks, tow trucks, commercial tour buses, auto carriers, etc. should not be issued a reservation for the vehicle to sit more than a few minutes to complete a pickup. They should not be allowed to use a school site for day, evening, or overnight parking.
- Farm Markets may request weekly access during established booking periods requesting an exemption from CUPF. CUPF management will review requests for exceptions in order to assess whether the perceived need(s) of the community for such activity may outweigh the 30-day restriction on receiving a reservation approval.
Restrooms (with no other indoor reservation)
Restrooms are provided for all scheduled indoor activities. However, when user groups reserve outdoor areas and request access to restrooms, appropriate fees will be charged based on the current fee schedule. Approval for restroom access will be based upon availability of appropriate staff.
