Application Logistics

1. School departments and active or provisional student organizations may reserve pavilions.  Private events of a personal nature, such as birthday parties, will not be accommodated.
2. Non-university groups require a license agreement and proof of insurance. Please specify if your group is not affiliated with USF and Campus Recreation will contact you.
3. Apply for your desired date at least 3 weeks in advance. If a reservation is not completed 3 weeks in advance your application may be denied.  Applications will not be accepted more than 4 months in advance. 
4. Each organization may only use the pavilions for one weekend date in a semester. 
5. Please fill out the form legibly.  All blanks must be filled in and student organizations must have an advisor’s signature on the form.  Please be sure to include your email.
6. All reservation requests will be confirmed or declined via email.  Print out the confirmation and take it with you to the park.  Outdoor Recreation will respond to your request within 7 days.  Please do not call until after the seven days have passed. 
7. Campus Rec is no longer taking reservations for the volleyball courts or the softball field.  They are available on a first come, first served basis.
8. Riverfront Park opens at 10:00 am.  Please do not schedule any events prior to this time.  Please circle one time slot (either 10am-2pm or 3pm-close) for your event at the park. This is in order to allow as many groups a chance to use the park as possible. 
9. No rain dates accepted.

5. Dogs must be leashed at all times.  Owners must carry a bag to clean up after the dog. 
6. No vehicles will be allowed to drive or park by the pavilions.  Groups with catering concerns may make prior arrangements with the Riverfront Park manager.  No loud music will be tolerated at the pavilion.  The Riverfront Park staff determines when music is too loud.
7. Absolutely no water balloons and no “silly string”.  No exceptions. 
8. Challenge course activities may not be used without challenge course staff supervision. 
9. Canoeing is available on a first come, first served basis.  Large groups who wish to shuttle to Trout Creek may make prior arrangements.  Cost for the shuttle is $10.00 per boat.
