Places in Houston to Hold a NERF Party

1. Montie Beach Park – Montie Beach is close to downtown, near to 45 and just on the eastern side of The Heights.  There is ample parking, tennis courts, a playground and they never seem to require reservations to use the grounds.  All the soccer games, frisbee and rugby occurring rarely have reservations, you simply carve out an area.  The best part?  The community room is relatively large and can be booked if needed.  
2. Colonial Park – This park in West University is great, it’s got tons of street parking, a massive pool a great gazebo, a playground and a great field for hosting.  The park is only a few blocks south of Bissonnet and a great spot for large or small gatherings.
3. Beverly Hills Community Center – This park is a great spot for southeast Houston.  The park is large and sprawling and there are two covered basketball courts.  There is a small playground and wonderful shade trees with picnic benches just behind the community center.  The community center can also be rented if needed.
4. Event Space at SW Party and Events – This is a private, indoor space that is reasonably priced at $100 per hour.  It is over 2000 sq ft and has many amenities not typically associated with community centers such as a wifi, speakers, a microphone and smart TV as well as rectangular or round tables.  The venue is brand new and just south of 99 and not far from 45.
5. Bear Creek Park – One of the most common spots for NERF or general parties is Bear Creek Park.  The park is massive and can accommodate either large or small parties.  There are a number of sports fields as well as rentable pavilions with great trees and playgrounds.   It can be very private back down the roads but there are also a large number of restrooms available.  

Houston certainly doesn’t lack spots to have events.  Renting community centers or gazebos is simple on the website, however planning is required.  Some have a 21 day requirement while others have a 7 day requirement.  The community centers are affordable and they have separate rates that can be as little as $70 for the first three hours if you’re a non-profit.  Regardless, private, indoor spaces can be found as well as just showing up to a large park and having fun for a few hours.  However it’s done, we’re more than happy to help!

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does the battlepack come with everything I need? – Why yes it does! We will provide the blasters, darts, masks, vests, bunkers and an air pump. 

2. Am I responsibile for lost or broken equipment? – We do not expect all the darts back, and will not charge for darts. We do reserve the right to charge for broken or lost equipment. We WILL charge for replacement equipment if you use it in sand (which destroys them) or if they come back and don’t work. We test before sending out, but if the guns don’t work please let us know when you get them so we can note that. 

3. Do you offer coaching and facilitation? – We do not, we simply rent the equipment.

4. What kind of bunkers do you have? – These bunkers are the standard NERF branded bunkers that are about 3ft tall.

5. What age is good for NERF? – We find that any kids younger than 6 have a hard time using the guns (though if you know they can go for it). We also find that kids over 13 might not want to play with NERF guns (but again – if they want to thats awesome).
