Waco, Temple, and Belton park pavilions for a party

Waco, Temple, and Belton all rent park pavilions for parties, and several list electricity, which makes a margarita or slushie machine easy. Use the table below to pick a pavilion, then confirm power, hours, and alcohol rules with the city before you book.

We deliver frozen drink machines across Central Texas, including Waco, Temple, and Belton. We checked these city pages on October 15, 2026. Rules and amenities change, so treat this as a starting point and confirm with the reservations office.

Rules to know before you book

Waco

• Pavilion rentals run 9 a.m. to midnight, and setup, decorating, and cleanup must fit inside your rental time, per the Waco facility rental agreement.
• Electricity is limited: only two electrical appliances per outlet box. Heavier use can trip the breaker.
• The renter must be 21 or older, and nothing can be staked into the ground.
• Book a pavilion by 1 p.m. the day before (Friday by 1 p.m. for weekends). You can book up to 12 months ahead.
• Alcohol: the Northern Gateway park page lists alcohol as prohibited in the park, and the rental agreement asks whether alcohol will be served. Ask the reservations office about your pavilion.

Temple

• Each rental covers a four-hour minimum, with extra hours available, per the Temple pavilion rental guidelines.
• Alcohol is allowed, but glass containers are prohibited, including in the parking lot.
• Most parks close at 9 p.m. Lions Park, Miller Park, West Temple Community Park, and a few others close at 11 p.m.
• Clean up and leave by your stated end time. Children can't be left unsupervised.

Belton

• Park pavilions rent for the whole day, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Unreserved pavilions are first come, first served.
• The Harris Community Park splash pad pavilions rent in three-hour slots from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Belton's splash pad rules prohibit alcohol and glass, so plan a slushie party there.

Frozen drink machine tips for a park pavilion

• Confirm the outlet. The machine needs a standard 110 volt outlet on its own circuit. At a Waco pavilion, make the machine one of the two appliances on that outlet box, and keep coffee makers and speakers on another.
• No outlet? You need a generator of at least 3,500 watts per outlet. Ask the reservations office whether generators are allowed.
• Book enough time. We set up 2 to 3 hours before the party, and the first batch takes 2 to 3 hours to freeze. Reserve the pavilion from setup through pickup.
• Bring a hose and water. Ask where the nearest water spigot is. Bring a garden hose or enough drinking water to mix.
• Use a sturdy surface. We can't set up on rock or gravel. Use a sturdy table or add our rolling machine cart.
• Kids at the party? Every mix is alcohol-free until you add alcohol. Fill one bowl with Blue Raspberry or Cherry Limeade for the kids, and label each bowl.
