Bounce Houses and Water Slides in Winter Haven, FL
Planning a party in Winter Haven? In your own backyard, it's simple: if the slide fits the yard, you can have it. A city park has a few extra rules, and they're easy to miss until it's too late. Here's what to know, so party day goes smoothly.
Throwing the Party at a Winter Haven City Park? Read This First
The City of Winter Haven rents pavilions through Parks, Recreation & Culture (863-291-5656, 500 3rd St NW). Choices include the two pavilions at Rotary Park, Lake Hartridge, Lake Maude Nature Park, and the Rueben Williams Sports Complex. Adding an inflatable means three things:
- A Special Events application, due at least 30 days before your party, with a $35 fee.
- A certificate of insurance naming the City of Winter Haven. We're fully insured, and we'll send you a COI with the City listed as certificate holder.
- No water inflatables on city property. That rule rules out a water slide or a wet combo at a city park. Plan on a dry bounce house, a combo run dry, an obstacle course, or a dry slide instead.
If 30 days is too tight or you want water, move the party to a backyard or a church lawn. Then anything in our fleet is fair game.
Good Picks for Winter Haven Parties
For a backyard summer party, go with a water slide or a combo with a pool, like the 19' Rip Tide Dual Lane ($339) or the XL Dual Dino Combo with Pool ($259). For a park or a cooler month, a 13x13 bounce house from $169 or the 46' Rip Curl Obstacle course ($349), run dry, keeps a big group moving. Hosting a neighborhood movie night? Rent the 30 Ft Movie Screen ($549). Popcorn is included.
Holiday Season in Winter Haven
December gets busy here. The Central Park tree lighting is Dec 3, Holidays on Central is Dec 5, and the Havendale Christmas Parade (a joint Winter Haven and Auburndale event) rolls down Havendale Boulevard on Friday, Dec 4. Planning a church or school Christmas party that week? We only have so many Gingerbread and snowman inflatables, so reserve early.
Why a Lakeland Company for a Winter Haven Party?
Winter Haven is about 30 miles from our yard on Lakeland Acres Road, and we're out there all the time. What you get is a family crew that shows up early, sets up, and comes back to take it all down, and that's the reason our Google rating has stayed at 5.0. We'd rather drive a little farther and do it right.
Winter Haven FAQ
Can I rent a water slide for a Winter Haven city park?
No. City of Winter Haven rules don't allow water inflatables on city property. Book a dry unit for the park, or hold the party at home if you want the water slide.
Will you send the insurance certificate the city needs?
Yes. Tell us the park and date when you book, and we'll send a COI with the City of Winter Haven as certificate holder. You turn it in with your Special Events application.
Do you deliver all over Winter Haven?
Yes. Setup and pickup are always included.
