How do you utilize your city’s parks for outdoor classes without turning over all your profits for permits?

By having a sit down with the parks I work with. Seriously, they usually give much more leeway when they’ve spoke to someone extensively about making the venture beneficial for all parties concerned.

I have a business license and can use our parks as long as we “don’t take over” and are “considerate to others” which we are
I can use our streets and hills and sidewalks which we do, it’s great exposure

Each City has their own rules, find out before you start, it would be humiliating to be told to stop in the middle of class!

In Baltimore, as long as classes are under 15 people, we can use the city parks at no cost. Maybe call your local recreation and parks and ask about that.

I don’t, but if I did I would take my base revenue per month (my goal) and add the cost of permits then divide by the number of classes and you will get the amount you need to make per class to meet your goals. This is also a good way to set your rates.
