*"Note for 2011: As the City reorganizes the Department of Parks and
Recreation, many of its policies regarding permits are in flux. We
will provide up-to-date information as soon as we get it.*
*Large Events Committee Chair:* Tony West
Clark Park is host to a number of large events, such as the Woodland
Avenue Reunion, the Clark Park Music and Arts Festival, and the Spruce
Hill May Fair.
Back in 2001, a committee was formed to address community concerns
regarding parks usage, specifically for permitted events. The Clark Park
Quality of Life Task Force (QOL) included representatives from the
Recreation Dept, the 18th Police District, Friends of Clark Park, the
UCD, several community organizations and a few large event organizers,
including the Clark Park Music & Arts Festival and the Woodland Ave
Reunion. After a series of meetings, guidelines for park usage were
developed and approved by the Recreation Department."

Citizens,
I've warned people about this for years! This is how the end of
community festivals was always meant to be announced. Also no
pro-democracy rally or other ad hoc protest for first amendment rights
will ever again be granted 1 of the 13 permits for "amplified sound" in
Clark Park!
The UCD committee Mr. Tony West refers to, was the beginning of the
UCD/Penn take over of the Department of Recreation. I've reported about
this Quality of Life Task Force for years and received ad hominem
attacks as the only replies.
NOTHING was developed at this secret bullshit UCD "task force" Ask for
the records!
I know the style of West, Siano, Chance and the leaders of FOCP very
well. They appear to be setting themselves up as defenders of the
community events!
The gang leaders of FOCP have supported the secret corporate takeover of
Clark Park from the beginning!!!
When they whine that they are now only a small voice at the secret Clark
Park Partnership, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THEY SUPPORTED THE CORPORATE
TAKEOVER FOR YEARS!! Of course, they can't tell their corporate masters
that they object to the agenda now, when the grass roots events are
outlawed! They can only defend the corporate takeover and the new
restrictions!
