Park Rules and Use Guidelines

Groups must adhere to park rules and use guidelines as set forth by The Summerlin Council at all times.

Reservable shade structures are available for rental on Fridays from 3 to 9 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.  Non-reserved facilities are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The non-reserved areas of the park remain open for use by the general public.

The size of the rental group may not exceed the maximum capacity for the rental area(s) as stated on the rental permit. If the capacity is exceeded, the group may face immediate revocation of the permit, forfeiture of fees paid for the permit and/or additional fees for other rental areas that are affected.

Any group of 100 or more is required to obtain written consent from The Summerlin Council and reserve a shade structure that can accommodate the size of the party.  No group exceeding 250 guests is permitted to use a Summerlin Council park.

Reservations will only be issued to an adult member of a Summerlin Community Association (North, South or West) who will be responsible for the supervision of the entire event, damage to park property, and injuries to any party which are the direct result of inadequate supervision or carelessness.

Reservations may be made up to four months in advance of the date requested.  All activities of The Summerlin Council receive scheduling priority.
