Facility Information

For details on Village of Cumberland parks and facilities, including equipment/amenities that are available, please see Parks, Recreation & Cultural Venues.

Equipment Borrowing

If you need to borrow traffic barricades, signage or other equipment for your event, you must submit an Equipment Request Form.

Event Insurance

If you require third-party event liability coverage, we encourage you to try the MIABC EventPolicy portal (enter “Village of Cumberland” when prompted to enter an event space owner). When you book a policy through that portal, Cumberland Recreation will automatically receive your certificate of insurance with all required Additional Insureds listed. Please note that while the MIABC EventPolicy portal is provided as a convenient resource, you are free to purchase your insurance from any provider you choose. MIABC does not provide liability coverage for inflatable bounce houses.
