Things to Know

We'll send you a document with all of this information when booking your event.

Dog Entry Requirements

All dogs who attend your event must follow our entry requirements below or they will not be permitted to enter the park. 

​

  • Humans must provide proof that their dog has unexpired vaccinations for Rabies, Bordetella, and Distemper.

  • All dogs must be fixed if they are one year old or older.

​

We will send you a link you can share with anyone bringing a dog that includes instructions on how to prepare for their visit. All dogs are expected to stop by our check-in window before entering the park so we can confirm they meet our requirements.

Weather

Bumble's Backyard is a completely outdoor space. We have several pop-up tents you can use to provide shade and shelter from rain. Please inform your guests to dress appropriately for the weather no matter what rental you choose.

​

In the event of inclement weather, we are happy to help you reschedule your event based on our availability.

Food and Drink

We do not serve or allow any food for humans or dogs at Bumble's Backyard to keep all the pups on their best behavior (except pup cups on your way out!). That being said, it's hard to have a party without a cake! When booking the flex space during our open hours, we allow human and dog desserts in the flex space only (no catering, buffets, etc).

​

When booking the entire park, we allow dog and human food at your own discretion. We are not responsible for any altercations that may occur involving dogs and food. 

 

We do not allow any outside beverages. We are happy to serve you espresso drinks, canned alcoholic and N/A beverages, and more from our bar. We can also provide water for your guests. If you have any special drink requests, we're happy to work with you to make those happen.  View our menu here and let us know if you have any questions about beverages at your event.

A Few More Notes

  • We generally do not allow children under the age of 14 into the park during our open hours.

    • Children under 14 are permitted at events using the whole park at your own discretion.

    • Children under 14 are permitted at parties in our flex space, but they must stay in the flex space. If they need to exit the flex space (to use the restroom, for example) they must be accompanied by an adult. 

    • Children under 14 are not permitted at dog meetup events.

​

  • ​Please do not bring any dog toys to your event if you are hosting a dog meetup event or a flex space party. Toys are welcome at your own discretion if you are renting the whole park for a private event.
