Reservation Procedure

Key deposits for use of lights, restrooms, and gates are $50.00 cash per key.

Reservations for sports fields begin the third Monday in March and close the last day of October each year.

There are three steps to reserving a sports field:

  1. Making/paying for the reservation
  2. Receiving the permit
  3. Checking out keys if needed

We accept cash, checks, money orders and debit/credit cards.

Note: We charge a 2.3% transaction fee on all credit/debit cards. This fee does not go to Metro but to a third party processor.

Reservations are taken Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.-Noon by phone only at 615-862-8405 or you may come in to the office from 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Due to the large number of calls we receive at the beginning of the season, please wait on hold for our first available assistant. We take calls on a first come, first served basis.

Have the following information ready:

  • Park Preference
  • Day of Reservation
  • Time of Reservation
  • Contact Information
  • Method of Payment

You may reserve up to fourteen days in advance. The day you make your reservation counts as the first day. For example, if you call on Tuesday, you may reserve a field through Monday, 14 days away.

We allow only two reservations per person, per call or visit.

Permits

Reserve and pay to receive a permit. Once payment is received permits will be emailed unless requested to be mailed. Or, you may pick up in person Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

If the box is damaged or the lock is missing, you must file a report to the Parks Division (615-862-8411) or Sports Division (615-862-8424) by noon the next day.

Inclement Weather Conditions

The Sports Department determines whether rain or inclement weather makes fields unplayable. Monday through Friday, call 615-862-8405 before noon or 615-880-2233 after 12:00 noon to check field status. If you cannot reach our office and field conditions are unplayable, you are responsible for canceling play. If you do not cancel, you are financially responsible for field repair costs.

Fields close October 31 each year.
