Block Party Rentals for Akron Neighborhoods
Akron’s neighborhoods throw great parties, from Goodyear Heights church block parties to street gatherings in Wallhaven and Ellet. If your association or street is planning one, the City of Akron’s block party petition needs every fronting resident’s signature and a city fee, filed at least two weeks ahead. The party has to be open to the whole block. We’ll send your association board a certificate of insurance and set up on the closed street or a member’s lawn.School district corner
School Event Rentals in Akron
From Akron Public Schools buildings to charter, private and Christian academies, school events run on paperwork. Game Craze is an approved vendor with area schools and districts. We provide certificates of insurance (and can add your school as additional insured when we staff), plus attendants for attractions that need them. Plan field days and fun days for May, back-to-school nights for August, and fall festivals for October.Park rules to know: City of Akron shelters (like Hardesty Park in Wallhaven or Hyre Park in Ellet) rent April through October, but the city doesn’t allow inflatables, tents or sound equipment on park grounds without an approved Community Events permit (see the City of Akron park rental rules). Summit Metro Parks prohibits personal inflatables at its shelters. Homes, churches and school grounds are usually the easiest places to set up.

About Akron
They call it the Rubber City, and Goodyear still has its headquarters here. Akron’s neighborhoods keep the party spirit going: Highland Square’s neighborhood association runs the PorchROKR music festival every August, and Goodyear Heights sits beside the 410-acre Goodyear Heights Metro Park. Downtown, the Lock 3 season fills summer weekends with about 110 events, and the All-American Soap Box Derby holds its race week at Derby Downs each July. When your street, school or congregation joins in, we bring the rentals.Nearby towns we serve
