PermitsA Special Use Permit is required for any activity that provides a benefit to an individual, group, or organization rather than the park or the public at large. Many of the events that require permits also require some degree of oversight from National Park Service staff.Commercial Filming/Still PhotographyA Commercial Filming/ Still Photography Permit is required for any filming or photography done by photojournalists and other members of the media within the boundary of Stonewall National Monument. For more information regarding special use and commercial filming at Stonewall National Monument, please email us. Inquiries can also be made via e-mail. First Amendment ActivitiesWe encourage citizens to exercise rights guaranteed by the Constitution. However, the courts have recognized that activities associated with the exercise of these rights may be reasonably regulated to protect the public and park resources. Therefore, such First Amendment activities involving more than 25 participants require special use permits and National Park Service staff may regulate the time, place, and manner in which they are conducted.
The Stonewall National Monument “First Amendment Rights Area" is located at the eastern most end of Christopher Park, where Grove Street and Christopher Street meet. No more than 25 participants will be permitted at a time. |
