Park Event Restrooms and Insurance: what it covers

Quick answer

An event in a Metro park that adds portable restrooms needs a certificate of insurance with the application, according to Metro Parks' special events application. The insurance is the event organizer's, not the renter's. Units are then placed on firm ground on the lawn, with the route for the service vehicle kept off the grass where possible.

Park Event Restrooms and Insurance illustration for Nashville, TN

Metro's parks host events across the county, and an event that adds portable restrooms to a park lawn goes through the Parks special events application. The application for an event at Warner Park, one of the parks in the search result, asked for a certificate of insurance to accompany it.

That insurance belongs to the event. The organizer provides the certificate, and the portable toilet provider's own insurance does not replace it. Where the event is in a Metro park, the organizer should ask the Parks office what it needs for the restrooms in the application, and include the certificate with the filing.

A park lawn is a place where the ground gives. The clusters are set on firm patches, a pad is laid where the grass is worn, and the service route avoids the worst turf, so the park is in the same condition after the event as before.

Our process

How our park event restrooms and insurance visit works

  1. Apply to the Parks office

    File the Parks special events application, and ask the office what it needs for portable restrooms.

  2. Provide the certificate of insurance

    The organizer provides the certificate of insurance with the application. It is the event's insurance, not the renter's.

  3. Choose firm ground

    Set each cluster on firm ground or a pad, away from the water's edge and the main walking path.

  4. Plan the service route

    Show the route the service vehicle will use across the park, and keep it off the grass where a path is available.

  5. Restore the lawn after the event

    Collect the units, check the ground for damage and agree any repair with the Parks office before the event closes.

Why does insurance come up for park restrooms?

Metro's Parks special events application asks for a certificate of insurance when an event adds portable restrooms to a park. The certificate is provided by the organizer.

The insurance covers the event, and it is the organizer's obligation to hold it. The portable toilet provider's own coverage does not replace the certificate the Parks office asks for, so the two should be checked separately.

Who holds the insurance for a park event?

The event organizer provides it. The renter of the restroom units does not hold the event's certificate for the organizer.

The organizer should ask the Parks office for the exact wording and limits it needs. The certificate is then filed with the application so the office can review it.

How is a park lawn protected?

By placing units on firm ground or a pad, keeping the service route on the path, and agreeing any lawn repair with the Parks office before the event closes.

A lawn that is worn down by the crowd needs a pad for the units to stand on. The service vehicle's route across the grass is the most common source of damage, so the path is used wherever it exists.

What does a park application need besides insurance?

The Parks application asks for the event's details, its dates and its layout. The restroom clusters are part of the layout, shown with their routes and the firm ground they stand on.

The office may ask for a site plan that shows the lawn, the paths and the clusters, so the reviewer can judge the route for the service vehicle. The plan is filed with the application, not after it.

A park event that is also a street event needs both applications, and the plan for each space is kept separate and shown to the right office.

What if the lawn is wet on the day?

A wet lawn is handled with a pad or a path, and the Parks office is told of the change in the plan. The units are not placed on ground that the office has not seen.

A pad is laid before the units arrive, and the route for the service vehicle is checked again. Where the lawn is too wet for any safe placement, the event team and the office agree a different spot.

Keep the Parks office's contact number with the event team, so a change can be cleared quickly.

Davidson County

Why park event restrooms and insurance is different in Greater Nashville

Warner Park appears in the search results for Metro Parks' events application, which asks for insurance from the organizer.

Metro parks across the county host gatherings with very different crowd sizes, and the count for each is set from the event.

A park event near a river or a creek keeps the clusters back from the bank, and the Parks office can say which spots it allows.
