Commercial Photography

Drone Permit Policy

Pursuant to Fairfield County Park District’s Rules & Regulations (effective January 1, 2019), no drones may be operated in any Fairfield County Park District (FCPD) property without a permit. The Director or his/her designee is authorized to issue permits for the operation of drones in accordance with the Drone Permit Policy (adopted February 8, 2021).

Geocaching

Have fun geocaching in our parks! Find us on geocaching.com as ExploreFCPD.

Geocache Hiding Guidelines state anyone hiding a geocache must “have all necessary permissions from the landowner or land manager to hide your geocache at that location.” Additionally, “In the case of public property, you must get permission from the agency or association that manages the land.”

Because Fairfield County Park District (FCPD) places geocaches in our parks, we ask that others not hide caches in any FCPD-owned or FCPD-managed property. Unauthorized caches will be reported to geocaching.com.  If you have questions, call 740 652-4422 or 614 321-4833 ext 103.

Metal Detecting Policy

Pursuant to Fairfield County Park District’s Rules & Regulations (effective January 1, 2019), no metal detecting equipment may be operated in any Fairfield County Park District (FCPD) property without a permit. The Director or his/her designee is authorized to issue permits for the operation of such equipment in accordance with the Metal Detecting Equipment Operation Permit Policy (adopted March 12, 2021).
