NEW Artificial Turf Field Request Process!

 
We are excited to announce that Artificial Turf Requests can now be done through the ActiveMONTGOMERY system in a much simpler and user-friendly way! We listened to the feedback that was received after the recent adjustments to the process and have worked with our vendor and IT department to make a request form that is submitted through ActiveMONTGOMERY!

The form can be completed here: Artificial Turf Fields Form

Through this change in procedure CUPF is able to better ensure that the limited Artificial Turf Field space available is distributed as equitably as possible amongst groups that request space. Beginning on November 1 groups can use the previously linked form in order to request space at the local ATF spaces that CUPF permits.

Reminders:
  • CUPF accepts requests for Artificial Turf Field facilities for 5 days during the beginning of each open period. At the end of 5 days, schedulers will work to evenly distribute space.
  • MCPS does have an increased need for their athletic spaces and Artificial Turf Field space is one of the most frequently utilized spaces by MCPS. Needs often change causing schools to cancel community use more frequently than other spaces.
  • All Artificial Turf Field user groups must have insurance, as described below:
    • All commercial or enterprise users and any User proposing certain Activities such as childcare, sports leagues or activities identified by Montgomery County's Risk Management office must maintain insurance with an insurance company licensed to do business in Maryland in an amount sufficient to indemnify, defend and hold the County and the Board of Education harmless as required above.
    • The User must maintain a policy of commercial general liability insurance with limits of at least $300,000 for each occurrence and an aggregate amount of $300,000. The insurance limit for dog training classes must be at least $1,000,000 for each occurrence and aggregate amount of $1,000,000. 
    • Certificate of Insurance (COI) is required to be submitted at the time of the request.
    • The Certificate must show the following as additional named insured:
Montgomery County and Board of Education
c/o Office of Community Use of Public Facilities
