Facility Rules
Clean-Up Deposits: Failure to follow rules or sufficiently clean may result in loss of deposit. If the facility is in disarray when you arrive, notify the Parks and Rec Department immediately via phone or email. Deposit refunds are mailed to the address provided by the renter.

Start to finish time is for total use. This includes set-up time, event time, and break-down/clean up time.

Glass is not allowed in any Town park.

Dogs are not allowed in any Town park other than Totem Pole and Big Mine.

Amplified Sound: If there will be amplified sound during your event the rules and requirements of Crested Butte Municipal Code Section 10-9-50 must be followed. Upon completion and submission of this application, the Town will provide you with additional information, if requested. Amplified sound must cease at 8:00 pm at Rainbow Park.

Trash and Recycling: Take care of all facilities and pick up all trash after the event.

Events should emphasize increased recycling and decreased waste production. All facilities have: bear-resistant trash cans; and non-bear-resistant recycling bins accepting #1 through #7 plastics, aluminum and tin cans.

We encourage the use of recyclable or compostable items for food and drinks. However, due to bears, products used for food cannot be recycled on-site. Trash cans must be properly shut and recycling must not be contaminated.

If you feel your event will need additional trash and recycling services, you must provide it. Any trash/recycling that does not fit in the receptacles provided must be removed by the renter.

Tents: Tent use requires permission from the Parks & Recreation Office. Only “Pop-Up” Tents smaller than 10 ft x 12 ft are allowed on the grass area surrounding Pavilions and on all fields. If you need a facility to set up a larger tent you can look into reserving Town Ranch or Big Mine Open Space.
Stakes are not allowed in any park facility.
Cinder blocks or gallon jugs filled with water or sand work well to secure tents.

Vehicles:
No motor vehicles are allowed inside the parks, on the fields, or on any driveways leading to the parks or fields.
