The Fall River City Park Board on Nov. 10 approved multiple park-use requests for upcoming community events.

Talos Farris, speaking on behalf of the Department of Veterans Services, requested use of Kennedy Park for the annual Veterans Day parade and ceremony scheduled for Nov. 11, 2025, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.; a motion to approve the request was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.

Bobby Bailey, representing Diamond Athletics, requested use of Bridal Park for a girls varsity senior-night event on Nov. 7 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.; the board approved the request.

Grace Girling, for the Greater Fall River Recreation and the Fall River Holiday Parade Committee, requested use of Kennedy Park for the annual children's holiday parade on Dec. 6 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., with setup beginning at 7:00 a.m.; commissioners moved to amend and approve the request and the motion passed by voice vote. (The transcript included unclear wording about the parade's ordinal number; the article reports only the date and times provided.)

Finally, a representative for the American Legion (Gania) requested a bench dedication ceremony to take place on Nov. 14; the board approved the request by voice vote.

All approvals were recorded as voice votes in the transcript; the board did not provide roll-call tallies in the available record. The decisions were routine park permits and did not include discussion of associated fees, required permits beyond board approval, or any special conditions in the transcript.
