Special Activity Agreement
A special activity agreement (SAA) permit may be required if you want to do an unusual activity or hold an organized group activity other than a normal picnic or camping trip.
Why do I need a special activity permit?
Chatfield loves to host events, but needs to know about your event well ahead of time so we can ensure space is available, and make sure your event won’t harm the natural resources or overlap with other visitors’ activities.
What kinds of events usually require a special activity permit?
Some past examples are running, swimming, & biking events, weddings, open water baptisms, school or other organized groups, fishing tournaments, group skills training, dog tracking, hot air balloon launches, professional photography, and more. If you have another kind of event in mind or if you are unsure if your event is suitable for Chatfield, please contact the email the park at chatfield.park@state.co.us with details about your event and we will let you know if you are in need of a Special Activity Agreement.
How soon should I apply for a special activity permit?
Please submit your application at least 90 days ahead of the date of your event or activity to see if you need to complete a special activity agreement.
