Rent a Park Pavilion

A Pavilion / Park Usage Permit is required if one or more of the following applies to your event:

  • Exclusive or reserved use of the pavilion

  • Amplified sound
  • Income-generating

Examples of events that require a pavilion/park usage permit are a birthday party, family gathering, reunion or memorial.

The Park/Pavilion Usage Permit Fees are non-refundable.

Permits must be requested within the time frame listed for the selected facility. Please refer to the specific facility for more information.


City of Clearwater parks are open to the public. Restriction of public access may only occur with a formal permit.  If there is a non-emergency situation such as the refusal of unauthorized persons to leave the permitted space, contact the Clearwater Police Department's non-emergency line at (727) 562-4242.
