WEDDINGS AND PRIVATE AFFAIRS AT THE COMMON GROUND
Many people have asked to have their wedding at The Common Ground - and it is a beautiful place for a wedding or a Private Affair. Since The Common Ground is a public park owned by the Town of Islip, there are only a few things you need to do in order to reserve this lovely haven.
1. Visit The Common Ground website Calendar page to see what dates may be available.
2. The Town of Islip must approve the request and a fee will be charged. Please contact the Town of Islip Sports Office requesting the date you have chosen by -

3. After your event has been reserved through the Town, email The Common Ground at contactus@thecommonground.com to inform us of your reserved date and event. We will post your event on our calendar and email notifications so the community will know you have reserved the park.
