Local tip for New Orleans

For events at city parks like Lafreniere or Audubon, always check with the New Orleans Recreation Development Commission (NORDC) well in advance about permit requirements. Some parks have specific regulations regarding temporary structures and water-based activities that need to be addressed before your event date.

Dunk Tank Rentals in New Orleans — FAQ

Do I need a permit to have a dunk tank at a New Orleans city park?

Yes, for most city parks, you will need to secure a permit from NORDC (New Orleans Recreation Development Commission). It's best to apply several weeks in advance to avoid any last-minute issues.

What are the water requirements for a dunk tank rental?

You'll need access to a standard garden hose connection to fill the tank. We recommend a strong water source to ensure efficient filling, especially for larger tanks.

Can you set up a dunk tank on uneven ground or a sloped yard?

The ideal setup requires a flat, level surface for safety and proper operation. If your yard has a slight incline, please let us know, and we can assess if it's suitable.

How much does a dunk tank cost?

Most dunk tank rentals run $250–$450 per day plus delivery, depending on city and weekend demand.

How is it filled?

A standard garden hose fills the tank in 30–45 minutes. Some operators offer a fast-fill option.

Where can I drain it?

Operators provide a drain hose. Drain to a lawn, alleyway, or storm-safe area — most cities allow it.
