Sound Levels
Fort Edmonton Park is committed to managing the sound levels
emanating from the Park. A Good Neighbour Policy has been adopted
by the Park and renters MUST adhere to the following points:
a) The maximum noise level will not exceed 90 Dba, in keeping
with the City of Edmonton bylaw #7255.
b) Sound will be monitored. Failure to comply will result in
termination of music for the event.
c) Social functions using Egge's Barn are to ensure that
shutters are closed whenever music or entertainment activities are
performed.
d) Outdoor entertainment must not extend past 11pm) Outdoor fire
pits will be extinguished by 11pm.
Parking
During regular operational hours, vehicles will only be
permitted on site 30 minutes after the Park closes to the public.
Guests attending functions in advance of closing will be directed
to park in the main public parking lot and may proceed into the
Park by foot, train or streetcar.
All large events scheduled at the Park at any time of the year,
are limited to the main public parking lot. For your evening
events, limited designated parking is available on site. Please
refer to your license agreement and parking map provided by your
booking agent and ensure that all of your guests are aware and are
provided with a map.
NOTE: Parking on the street is not
permitted at any time. Should you need to leave your vehicle
overnight at the Park, we ask that it is moved BEFORE 8 a.m. or the
vehicle will be towed. If possible, please move vehicles to the
main lot before leaving.
Pointers & Event Reminders
The following pointers are included to make your special
event even easier.
- During the summer operating season, access to several of the
rental facilities is limited. Facilities such as the Clerks'
Quarters and Kelly's Saloon are used for daytime interpretation and
are not ready until one half hour following closing to allow the
Park staff to clean the facility. Also please note that caterers
may require 1-1.5 hours to complete an involved set up.
- In certain circumstances, early access times for set up and
deliveries may be accommodated (subject to availability). Please
contact your facility representative if you require additional
time.
- During the summer season, all deliveries requiring the use of a
vehicle on-site MUST be made by 9:30 a.m. before the Park opens or
15 minutes after the Park closes.
- The renter is responsible for ensuring the facility is left in
the same condition as it was received. Please use appropriate
drainage facilities to dispose of leftover beverages and ice. All
equipment, catering supplies and decorations brought for your event
must be removed from the Park at the conclusion of your event.
Failure to do so will result in a clean up fee of $150/hour being
charged to the client. Please note that all guests and items must
be off the premises by 2:00am.
- Bar services (the service of alcohol) can be arranged with your
exclusive caterer or if you wish to provide bar service
independently of a caterer a valid liquor license is required for
your event. All equipment and supplies must be provided by either
your caterer or arranged yourself. Fort Edmonton Park does not
provide any equipment or ice for bar services.
