Infrastructure Needs

Driftwood Theatre performs in Oakdale Park, by Tania Fitzpatrick (2018)

Each park space is unique and each project will have different infrastructure needs. How you plan to use the space will determine how you need to get things set up. Make a list of everything you think your event will need even if it already exists in the park (that way you are less likely to overlook something).

Needs may include:

  • Accessibility options
  • Signage for the event
  • Wayfinding signage
  • Box office for paid events
  • Stage or presentation space, or space for artists to work
  • Seating
  • Shade (trees, umbrellas, tents)
  • Toilets (portable or on-site)
  • Lighting and sound equipment
  • Parking
  • Storage for artists
  • Drinking water and/or refreshments
  • Considerations regarding proximity to residential areas (noise, parking congestion, etc.)
