Special Activity Agreements / Permits

​A Special Activity Agreement (SAA)/ Permit may be required if you want to do an unusual activity or hold an organized group activity.

What kinds of events usually require a Special Activity Permit?

Some examples are:

  • Professional photography
  • Photography used for advertising
  • Filming
  • Commercial Events
  • Businesses conducting sales, programs, guides or any business on park property
  • Weddings
  • Running events
  • Unguided school or church groups
  • Organized groups
  • Group skills training
Our most common photo permit is $60, which consists of a $30 processing fee and a $30 flat-rate fee per quarter. Most photo permits are for a calendar quarter. 

I would like to host another kind of event, can I still get a SAA?

If you have another kind of event in mind or if you are unsure if your event is suitable for Roxborough State Park, please contact the park at 303-973-3959 or by email at Roxborough.Park@state.co.us with details about your event or activity 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. In some cases, such as for a photography permit, a shorter application period is allowed.

  • Please Note: Applications that are not submitted for consideration far enough in advance may be rejected due to lack of availability or application processing time.​

What forms do I need to fill out to apply for a permit?​

​​Please fill out this Special Activity Agreement Application for your event or group. If you are applying for a basic photo permit, please fill out this Photo Permit. Please submit all forms by email (preferred)​ to Roxborough.Park@state.co.us​ or in-person prior to your event.​

  • A non-refundable $30 processing fee is required with each application.

  • Additional fees will be determined by park management and may include entrance fees, staff impact and percent of gross sales fees.

  • All fees are in addition to park pass/entrance fees unless otherwise noted.

For more information, please call 303-973-3959 or email Roxborough.Park@state.co.us​.

The Parks and Wildlife Commission has the authority to raise daily individual/walk-in or vehicle entry fees by up to $1 per year, and annual passes up to $10 per year.
