SPECIAL EVENTS THE COMMON GROUND

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. If you are planning an event for 21 people or more at Rotary Park, you will need the Town of Islip to approve it and charge you a fee to use the space. Please contact Cultural Affairs by calling 631-224-5430 or emailing  culturalaffairs@islipny.gov . 


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, tape, tack or staple anything onto any part of the pavilion or illuminated sign. 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.


BUY A BRICK to Commemorate the date!

You may purchase an engraved paving stone to commemorate the date for $80. 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.
