CB Smith Park Party Guide 2026: Bounce Houses in Pembroke Pines

Why CB Smith Park Is a Genius Move for a Party in Broward

If you've been searching for the perfect spot for your kid's birthday party — big enough that the cousins from Miami can drive up, cheap enough to not empty the wallet, and cool enough that everyone actually shows up — you've probably already stumbled across CB Smith Park in Pembroke Pines. And you're right to be curious. This place is genuinely one of the best-kept party secrets in Broward County.

Here's everything you need to know to throw a party there that goes off without a hitch.

The Park Itself: Big, Beautiful, and Built for Parties

CB Smith Park is located at 900 N Flamingo Rd in Pembroke Pines (right off I-75, easy 25 minutes from Miami if the Turnpike behaves). It's a full-sized Broward County park with lakes, walking trails, and — this is the big one — Paradise Cove Water Park inside the grounds.

That's what makes CB Smith different from every other park in the area: your birthday party essentially comes with its own water park attached. You don't even have to rent a water slide — you can just walk 200 feet and there's an actual water park waiting.

For rentals, the park offers a really wide range of shelters and pavilions:

• 8 medium shelters (30–45 people) — perfect for a preschool birthday
• 6 large shelters (45–80 people) — the sweet spot for most kids' birthdays
• 5 extra-large shelters (80–160 people) — great for a big family gathering or a quinceañera pre-party
• 2 corporate pavilions (350–500 people) — for the "half the neighborhood is coming" kind of event
• A meeting cabin (up to 300 people) with A/C — clutch when the weather turns

All shelters come with electricity, running water, and grills built-in. The corporate pavilions even have Wi-Fi. This is a park that took planning seriously.

The Rules You Actually Need to Know (Before You Book Anything)

Here's where a lot of first-timers get tripped up. CB Smith has some specific rules for parties that matter a lot for what you can rent:

1. Bounce houses are allowed — but ONLY at pavilions and shelters. You cannot set one up in the campground area.
2. NO water inflatables allowed. Zero. No water slides, no dunk tanks, no foam machines. This is a hard rule and they do enforce it.
3. Generators are required for bounce houses. The shelter outlets aren't rated for the blowers, so you have to bring your own power.
4. Pavilion rentals need to be booked in advance through Broward County Parks — walk-ups almost never work on a Saturday.

The good news? House of Party Rentals includes the required generator rental with every bounce house delivered to CB Smith Park, and we're a Broward-approved vendor — check out our Broward park-approved packages, which are already pre-cleared to set up in the park without additional paperwork on your end.

What to Rent (and What to Skip)

Since water inflatables are off the table, lean hard on dry attractions:

• A combo bounce house (bounce + dry slide, no water) — the workhorse of park parties
• An inflatable obstacle course if you've reserved one of the larger shelters
• A trackless choo-choo train — this is the sleeper hit at CB Smith parties, running loops through the shady walkways
• A snow cone machine and cotton candy machine — required, honestly, given the Pembroke Pines summer
• Extra tables, chairs, and linens — even though the shelters have picnic tables, you'll want extras if you're doing a bigger event

If you don't want to piece it together à la carte, our Broward park bounce house + concession package bundles the most-requested items at a lower total.

For the water portion of the day, just buy Paradise Cove Water Park passes for the group instead of trying to bring water inflatables. It's a better experience, cheaper than you'd think, and it means you don't have to supervise a slide while also cutting the cake.

Which Shelter to Book (Insider Pick)

If you're doing a kids' birthday for 30–50 guests, request one of the large shelters near the playground. Kids can bounce around between the bounce house, the playground, and the shelter itself without you having to chase them all over the park. The shelters closer to the lake are prettier but harder to keep the little ones contained.

If you're doing a bigger event (quinceañera decoration reveal, corporate family day, big cumpleaños con toda la familia), the corporate pavilions are worth every penny — the Wi-Fi alone will save you when the tía in Colombia wants to FaceTime.

The Broward-Approved Difference

Setting up in a Broward County park comes with paperwork most people don't realize until it's too late. You need a Certificate of Insurance from your rental company that lists Broward County as an additional insured. You need proof that your inflatables meet the county's safety standards. You need a vendor who's actually been cleared to deliver into these parks.

We're that vendor. Every rental we deliver into CB Smith (or any Miami-Dade or Broward park, for that matter) comes with the COI already handled, the safety inspection passed, and the setup crew who've been to that park a hundred times and know exactly which service road to use.
