If a park shelter is rented or a party is planned at a park, patrons may choose their own caterers and vendors as long as the vendors have completed the application process and paid the vendor fee to become an approved vendor.

"Approved vendor" means a business has provided an application, a current certificate of insurance, and a Broward tax receipt; paid a fee; and completed a criminal background affidavit (see below). "Approved" does not mean that we recommend one vendor over another. If you have a caterer or business that is preferred, and they are not on the approved list, have them contact our Parks Safety Section (see contact information below).

For information on how to become an approved vendor, please visit the Vendor Information Web page. PLEASE NOTE: Walk-in vendor registration is NOT accepted without an appointment. If you are unable to register online, please call 954-357-8100 or email ParksSafety@broward.org to schedule an appointment.
