Event Rentals in Lone Tree, CO

Lone Tree is a Douglas County city on the south edge of the metro, with trails linking Prairie Sky Park, the Willow Creek Trail, Bluffs Regional Park and the East/West Regional Trail. The City points residents to South Suburban Parks and Recreation for park permits and reservations at its community parks, including Prairie Sky Park and Sweetwater Park. South Suburban takes shelter and field requests online only, asks for about a week of processing time, and requires the rental block to include setup and cleanup.

South Suburban's rules shape the rental order. Inflatables and climbing walls are allowed once the District has a $1 million certificate of insurance from the rental company naming South Suburban as additional insured. If tents or inflatables will be staked, call the permit office a week before the event so buried lines can be located, and inflatables that need water carry an extra fee. Glass is prohibited, alcohol isn't allowed in South Suburban parks unless the event is a nonprofit fundraiser with municipal permits, and amplified sound has to be listed on the shelter reservation. Large rentals that need fields next to shelters, trail use or shelters outside the online system are special events that need written approval 90 days ahead.

The City's own Special Event Permit applies to events that close all or part of a street or sidewalk, organized activities that affect City property, facilities or routine services, and gatherings of 50 or more that interfere with normal pedestrian or vehicle traffic. Concerts, fairs, festivals and block parties are listed as examples, while small gatherings such as a park shelter rental for a birthday party don't need one. The City Clerk must receive the application no later than 90 days and no earlier than six months before the event. It asks for a traffic plan, the number and location of portable toilets and trash containers, a cleanup plan, and proof of insurance naming the City or a waiver request.

South Metro Fire Rescue serves Lone Tree and requires permits for tents and temporary special event structures over 400 square feet, which covers many tents rented for graduations, company picnics and backyard receptions. Ask the tent company who files the permit and how much lead time it needs. Temporary uses that require a Temporary Use Permit under the City's development code go through that process rather than the special event permit.
