A community gathering space located between Gillette and Candee Avenues in Sayville

The Common Ground is a beautiful place for a wedding or a private party. The Common Ground is owned by the Town of Islip; therefore, we ask that you following these guidelines to reserve this lovely space:
1. Visit The Common Ground Calendar to check on availability of dates.
2. Please reach out to the Town of Islip regarding your dates. They will need to approve and charge a fee to use the space. You can reach them by mail or email (recsports@islipny.gov):
Town of Islip Sports Office
Brookwood Hall
50 Irish Lane
East Islip, NY 11730
(631) 224-5403
3. When your event has been approved by the Town, email The Common Ground (contactus@thecommonground.com) and inform us of your reserved date and event. We will post your event on our calendar and so the community is aware that the park has been reserved for that date.
4. It is your responsibility to arrange for all chairs, music, flowers, decorations, etc. needed for your event. You may not nail, tack or staple anything into any part of the pavilion. Please use the loops that exist on the perimeter of the pavilion roof to hang decorations.
5. You are responsible for clean up and leaving the park as you found it.

You may purchase an engraved paving stone to commemorate the date for $65. Call The Common Ground at 631-459-6603 and ask to have a volunteer return your call about a brick order. Or click to download the order form.
