Facility Rental Alcohol Permit Information

What are the insurance requirements to obtain an alcohol permit for an event?

Commercial General Liability costs can range from $195-$300.
Coverage generally is for 24 hours, providing $1 million/occurrence and $1 million aggregate.
Insurance covers events where liquor is supplied at no charge or is a Bring Your Own Bottle (BYOB) event. BYOB events will be reviewed by the insurance company on a case-by-case basis. This insurance does not cover an event if you are selling liquor or having a cash bar.

How do I get insurance coverage?

When you contact your insurance provider to secure your liability insurance policy, let them know: Contact either insurance company below by phone or an application can be submitted via

You are supplying liquor at no charge or that it is a BYOB event.
The City of North Port needs to be named as an additional insured.

What do I do after I receive the certification?

Once you have secured the liability insurance policy, you must submit a copy to Parks and Recreation to be processed with your rental agreement. You can bring the certificate to the Morgan Family Community Center, 6207 W. Price Blvd. or e-mail to ParkRentals@NorthPortFL.gov. NOTE: The insurance certificate must be submitted at least 14 days prior to the event. If not submitted, the event is subject to cancellation.

Once approval is received from the North Port Police Department, you will be contacted.

If you have any additional questions, please contact Parks & Recreation at 941-429-PARK (7275).

Parks, Pavilions & Green Spaces

Parks and/or pavilions are available for rental daily from sunrise to sunset. A pavilion reservation permit entitles the permit holder to exclusive use of the pavilion for the date/time indicated on permit. Pavilions, courts and open space are also available as-is on a first-come, first-serve basis when there is no permitted reservation. Pavilion and open space reservations are rain or shine events. Refunds require 14-day advance notification. Annual Achieve Anything members and 501(c)(3) organizations are eligible for a 25% off discount on standard pavilion fees. Discount is not applicable to the special Resident fee.

We have designated four Green Spaces within the City Center Campus in which you may rent for your outdoor event. These grassy areas give event participants and visitors easy access to your festivities. The sky is the limit to what can be created at these locations as it is a perfect setting for festivals, merchant events or an enchanting evening under the stars.

Additionally, we invite you to rent our “Green Spaces” at the Garden of the Five Senses, the Myakkahatchee Creek Greenway Disc Golf Course, and Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park (MCEP).
