Rent a Park Pavilion

Step 1.Choose Your Park or Pavilion

Pavilion rentals are available in four-hour time blocks: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 2 to 6 p.m. Fees are per time block. The time block should include set-up and breakdown time. Holidays, special events, and holiday weekends may limit availability of certain pavilions.

Pavilion rentals do not provide you with exclusive use of the park or its amenities, require advance notice and includes restrooms where available. Grills, electricity and water may be available at certain locations. Inflatables are not permitted at any park/pavilion.

Fees listed do not include sales tax. Tax is due at the time of purchase. Pavilions located at parks not listed above are on a first-come, first-serve basis. View full park list.

To receive the resident rate, please email specialevents@myclearwater.com prior to submission. Proof of Clearwater residency will need to be provided and verified by city staff.

Step 2.Get an estimated number of attendees

You must provide an estimated number of attendees. Ranges of numbers are not accepted. Please refer to the table below for the capacity of each pavilion.

Step 3.Choose your date and time slot

After you have scrolled through the options and chosen your venue, use the filter feature on the left side of the page to click on the date of your event and highlight the time slot(s) by clicking on them.

Please note:

• The date must adhere to the minimum and maximum number of days required. 
• Only one permit is permitted per day per pavilion. If you see a pavilion with a time slot reserved for the day you have chosen, then that means it has been reserved already and is unavailable.

If you accidentally click on a time slot or would like to change the time slot, click on it again to deselect it.

Click "Add to Cart" when you are finished adding the slots to your cart.
