Rules
- Alcohol
- Only as your approved permit allows: 'Alcohol consumption is limited to the terms of the approved permit' (Park & Facility Use Regulations Summary, 9/9/25, p.1). Security, if required, is arranged by the City and paid by the renter ($45/hr); only the responsible person or a licensed caterer may bring alcohol; no alcohol at any celebration for someone under 21 (such as a child's birthday party); selling it needs an ABC daily license; $2M liquor liability insurance (Council Policy 28, section G).
- Bounce houses
- Not addressed for the indoor rooms. In the park's outdoor picnic areas, a bounce house from a City-approved vendor is allowed with a park permit for a $20 fee (see the park listing).
- Amplified sound
- Renters must control any amplified sound, including radios, so it does not disturb other groups or the surrounding neighborhood; the event may be cancelled if noise is not controlled or police are called (Use Regulations p.1). No decibel limit, hours or sound permit is published.
- Canopies
- Not applicable indoors. For the park's outdoor areas: no published rule for small pop-up canopies; Fire Department tent permit above 400 sq ft with sidewalls or 700 sq ft canopy-only (Special Event Reference Book p.37).
- Other rules
- Book on CarlsbadConnect 14 to 365 days ahead (the City recommends applying at least 30 days ahead); every rental is per hour with a 2-hour minimum, the time must include setup and cleanup, fees are due 30 days before the event, and the applicant must be on site with a copy of the permit (Use Regulations p.1; CarlsbadConnect). Vendors you hire need general liability insurance and a Carlsbad business license. No handing out single-use plastic beverage bottles of 1 liter or less at City facilities (CMC 6.22.040); balloon releases are banned citywide (CMC 6.26.030). No deposit is published for ordinary rentals. The gym is for sports activities only. The meeting rooms are free for nonprofit groups with non-paid management (fee schedule footnote: 'No charge for nonprofit nonpaid management'; CarlsbadConnect labels its $0 rate 'Resdnt, Non-Prft, Unpaid Mngt'). The Rentals page gives the center's capacity as 85-200; CarlsbadConnect lists the gym at 250. CarlsbadConnect gives the ZIP as 92011; the City's facility page and directories say 92009.
