Rental Guidelines

  • Rentals are a minimum of two hours.
  • Full deposit is due once contract has been signed. Deposit may be used for any damage incurred during rental. Damages occurring as a result of the renter's players, coaches, and/or spectators will be billed directly to the renter. Remaining rental balance is due two weeks prior to first use or two weeks prior to the start of each month for reoccurring rentals.
  • Courts will not be rented to any organization whose use of the courts presents a conflict of interest.
  • The number of portable toilets, trash removal, and lights, etc. will be determined by the department staff based on the event.
  • Liability insurance of $2,000,000 naming the City of Boulder as additionally insured is required.
  • Dogs and glass bottles are not allowed at the athletic complexes.
  • Court playability will be determined by the renter. It is not advised tennis or pickleball courts are used if moisture, snow, or ice is present. There is a volunteer snow removal program should the renter be interested in clearing snow for their own event and court squeegees are available to aid in removing moisture. Department staff does not clear snow or ice from outdoor courts.
  • Weather cancellations may be permitted and renters will be given the option to reschedule or receive a refund due to inclement weather.
