Effective April 27, 2011 the Division of Park Programs is relocating from the National Capital Region Headquarters at 1100 Ohio Drive, SW Washington DC to National Mall and Memorial Parks Headquarters at 900 Ohio Drive, SW Washington DC.

 

The National Mall and Memorial Parks Division of Park Programs, located at 900 Ohio Drive SW, Washington DC 20024, issues approximately 4,000 permits per year, including those for public gatherings (special events and demonstrations), and filming and photography. The permit system is intended to help assure, to the extent possible, that the multitude of activities that may be taking place on any given day will not conflict with each other or with general visitor activities.

Park areas administered by this office include National Mall and Memorial Parks, President's Park, Rock Creek Park, National Capital Parks-East, George Washington Memorial Parkway, Manassas National Battlefield Park, Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, Prince William Forest Park, Ford's Theatre National Historic Site, and the portion of Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park from Georgetown to the Monocacy River Aqueduct.  Note that some of these listed parks may directly issue certain permits.  Please refer to the attached document link titled "How and where to apply for specific types of permits" to determine what office you should contact for your particular permit needs.

Please note that all applications, unless determined to be a First Amendment activity, must be accompanied by a $50.00 payment for initial processing. The application processing cost represents the average costs incurred by the park in mailing, distribution and initial review of applications to make sure the information supplied is sufficient to inform a decision. Payment of application costs may be in the form of check, money order, or credit card.

This office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., holidays excepted. 

Thanks for visiting.  You can reach us at (202) 245-4715 to obtain additional information.
