Perfect For Every Amherst Event
Backyard Birthday Parties
From North Amherst capes to South Amherst ranches to Cushman Village colonials, we deliver and set up water slides for backyard birthdays across every Amherst neighborhood. Most setups take 45 minutes, and we handle anchoring for grass, turf, asphalt, and concrete.
School Field Days
Amherst Public Schools and Amherst-Pelham Regional field days are a spring staple — we've delivered to Fort River, Crocker Farm, and the regional middle and high schools. Our SIOTO-certified crew handles COIs naming the district as additionally insured at no extra charge.
Church & Community Events
From First Congregational picnics to Grace Episcopal summer festivals, Amherst churches and community groups rent our wet/dry combo slides for all-ages events. COIs available on request, delivery crew is CORI-checked.
Graduation Parties
Graduation season in Amherst means Amherst Regional seniors, UMass Amherst grads, and Amherst College students all flooding the backyards at once. Book a dual-lane racer or The Big Kahuna 4–6 weeks out — late-May weekends sell out fastest in the Pioneer Valley.
Corporate & Company Picnics
Team building events, employee appreciation days, and company picnics across the Pioneer Valley. A dual-lane racer turns any corporate outing into the highlight of the year.
Block Parties & Neighborhood Events
Block parties across Amherst Center, North Amherst, and Cushman Village rent our dual-lane racers for the whole street. We'll coordinate setup with your neighborhood association and deliver early so the slide is up before the grill fires.

Amherst Water Slide Rental FAQs
How much do water slide rentals cost in Amherst, MA?
Our Amherst water slide rentals start at $299 for standard single-lane slides and go up to $549 for premium dual-lane units like The Big Kahuna. Toddler splash units start at $199. Since Amherst is a quick drive from our Southampton home base, delivery and setup are fast and reliable all season long. Browse our water slide inventory online for current pricing, or call (413) 230-0596 for a custom quote.
Is Party Patrol Rentals licensed and insured?
Yes. Party Patrol Rentals is MA OPSI Certified (License #491), NAARSO Affiliated, OABA Member, and SIOTO Safety Certified. We carry $3 million in liability insurance — three times the industry standard — and our entire delivery crew is CORI background-checked. Certificate of Insurance (COI) is available on request for Amherst schools, churches, and venues.
Do you provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI)?
Yes, we provide COIs naming your venue as additionally insured at no extra charge. Amherst schools, churches, and corporate clients request this routinely — we handle it. Email masspartypatrol@gmail.com or call (413) 230-0596 and we'll send it within 24 hours.
What do I need to provide for setup?
Three things: (1) a garden hose with standard threading within 75 ft of the setup area, (2) an outdoor electrical outlet within 100 ft on a dedicated 15-amp circuit, and (3) a level, debris-free setup space. We handle everything else — stakes, straps, blowers, cords, and the safety briefing.
What surfaces can you set up on?
Grass, artificial turf, asphalt, and concrete all work — we bring the appropriate anchoring for each. We cannot set up on gravel, loose dirt, or uneven ground. Let us know your surface when booking so we show up with the right hardware.
What are the age and height requirements?
Most of our water slides are rated for ages 4 and up with a 36-inch height minimum. Dual-lane racers typically require 42 inches. Our Toddler Splash Zone is rated for ages 2–5 and has no height minimum. Specific requirements are confirmed at booking.
Can I rent a water slide in May or September?
Yes — our water slide season runs May through September in Amherst. Ideal operating temperature is 75°F or warmer. In cooler weather, many customers rent our wet/dry combo slides and run them dry. Call (413) 230-0596 for weather-specific guidance.
Can water slides be used dry?
Yes — all of our wet/dry combo slides (Circus Splash, Tropical Oasis, etc.) can be operated without water. The Big Kahuna and dedicated water-only slides are wet-only units. Let us know your preference at booking.
What if it rains on my event day?
All water slide rentals are covered by our Rain Guarantee. Give us 36 hours' notice and you can reschedule or receive a raincheck valid for up to one year — no extra fees, no stress. On event day, water slides are shut down during thunderstorms, lightning, or winds over 15 mph per SIOTO and NAARSO safety standards.
How far in advance should I book my Amherst water slide?
We recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance for most dates. Summer weekends (June–August) book faster — 4–6 weeks out is safer. July 4th weekend and the end-of-school-year stretch (late May through mid-June) are our busiest periods and typically sell out 6+ weeks in advance.
