Herty Field, President's Garden, DW Brooks Mall & Amphitheater, and Lumpkin Plaza are public outdoor areas which can be reserved for events sponsored by the following organizations and individuals:
• UGA departments and registered student organizations may request reservations one year prior to the date of their event. There is no charge for use of these areas.
• UGA students, alumni and employees may request reservations to use these areas for weddings and wedding rehearsals one year prior to the wedding. Other types of private functions are not allowed in these areas. A rental fee will apply and is due at the time the reservation request is submitted. Please see Facility Usage Fees for details.

Reservation requests are submitted on-line at www.reservations.uga.edu at least 5 business days prior to your meeting or event. Requests submitted after this time period may be denied. If your request is approved a confirmation will be e-mailed to you. Please remember your reservation is not final and your event location should not be publicized until you have received a confirmation from Campus Reservations.

Campus Reservations is not able to provide equipment for the outdoor spaces. University departments can contact Physical Plant directly to make arrangements for equipment. All other groups should arrange for additional equipment with off-campus rental centers. Regardless of where you get your equipment please check with the Campus Reservations staff to ensure enough time has been set aside for the delivery and pick up of the equipment.

Please help us maintain the beauty and safety of our outdoor spaces by following these guidelines. A fee may be charged if cleaning or repair is required.
• Keep all sidewalks free of obstructions and make sure wheelchair ramps are accessible.
• Alcohol is allowed in these areas. Please familiarize yourself with the university's alcohol policy. Although these guidelines are specifically written for university units, visitors to our campus are expected to follow them as well.
• If using a tent please tell your vendor to provide a frame tent. Pole tents are prohibited due to the potential for damage to the turf and underground utilities.
• Dance floors are not allowed due to the damage they do to the lawn.
• In areas with fountains, please do not put anything in the fountain.
• If your event is being catered, advise the caterer to place cookers on the gravel paths around the field and to please not pour hot water on the lawn. Heat and hot water will kill the grass.
• Clean up after yourselves and your guests. Garbage is to be removed from the premises after the event ends.

Amplified sound is only allowed in these areas after 9 pm on weekdays and before 11 pm on weekends. Sound reinforcement of live music may not include subwoofers, long throw speakers, woofers larger than 15 inches, or heavy percussion including large drums and heavy bass.

The outdoor spaces do not have bathrooms. It would be a good idea to arrange to have a port-a-john(s) on hand. Bathroom trailers are prohibited.

Parking is extremely limited in these areas. Please refer to the campus parking map and advise your guests in advance of their parking options.

Users must cancel reservations for facilities they will not use. Users failing to cancel reservations at least 3 business days prior to the event will be responsible for all event charges or a penalty fee.

Failure to comply with University policies or Federal, State and local law may result in the cancellation of future reservations and/or restriction from the use of academic classrooms. Discrimination in the use of these facilities regarding disability, race, religion, nationality or sexual orientation is prohibited.
