Two Kent stories

The Tree City and the Leap

Why Kent Is “The Tree City”

Kent is home to the headquarters of a national tree-care company, and that’s how the city earned its nickname, “The Tree City”. Residents even have their own name: Kentites. With nearly 20 parks and preserves in town, there’s plenty of shade for a party.

The 21-Foot Leap Over the Cuyahoga

Around 1780, local legend says, a frontier scout escaped capture by leaping 21 feet across the Cuyahoga River. The spot is now Brady’s Leap Park, a city park on the river. You won’t need to jump that far at your party, but the bungee and climbing wall come close.

Kent Party Rental FAQ

Which Kent ZIP codes do you deliver to?

All of them: 44240 for most of the city, plus 44242 and 44243, the Kent State campus ZIPs. We also serve Franklin Township, Brimfield and the rest of Portage County. Put your address on the quote form and we’ll confirm.

Can a student organization book you for an event on campus?

Yes. Your group schedules the space through University Events & Conference Services first, and evening social events have their own registration rules. See Kent State’s event planning tips. We send whatever insurance paperwork the university asks for.

Can we put a bounce house at Fred Fuller or Al Lease Park?

Ask Kent Parks & Recreation first at 330-673-8897. A shelter rental is booked through them. A bigger gathering on park property goes through their Special Event Application, which is due 90 days ahead and asks for a certificate of insurance naming the City of Kent as additional insured. We can provide the certificate.

Are you set up as a vendor for Kent City Schools events?

We work with schools and PTOs across the area. We send the school or PTO a certificate of insurance (COI) naming them, and our attendants can run the attractions.

Can our company or church be added to your insurance?

Yes, when Game Craze attendants run the rentals. Your organization is listed as additional insured, and we send the certificate before the event.
