- Other events may be taking place in Loose Park as well.
- Weddings may be scheduled year-round, but the fountain will be off October 15-April 15.
- Working utilities are not guaranteed. Please make other accommodations if necessary.
- No refunds will be given under any circumstances, including weather.
- Any chairs, decorations, musical equipment, etc. must be set-up and taken down within the two-hour time period.
- All supplies and equipment must be carried to the rose garden. Vehicles are not allowed on turf areas or in the rose garden.
- Arrangements for holding a reception should be made at a separate location.
- The Pavilion is not included in your permit fee.
- Food is not allowed in the rose garden. Liquor is prohibited in Loose Park.
- Pop up Picnics are not allowed in the rose garden. Only in the Loose Park green spaces..

- Birdseed, confetti or tissue flowers are not allowed inside the rose garden. Birdseed may be used once on the road or parking surfaces. Rice can kill birds and is not allowed.
