Planning a character visit in Escondido

Dixon Lake picnic shelters

The City of Escondido takes picnic shelter reservations at Dixon Lake, Monday through Friday from 7 am to 4 pm,.

Questions to ask the park before booking

Dixon Lake is a City of Escondido property, so the reservation office is the right place to ask about the shelter you want. Confirm whether the shelter is open to outside entertainers and whether a character visit fits the reservation terms. Ask what the shelter includes, what amplified sound is allowed, and whether there is a clear spot for the performer to set up.

East Valley Community Center

The East Valley Community Center at 2245 East Valley Parkway is a City of Escondido facility that offers meeting rooms and a full-sized gymnasium, and the city describes it as a space for birthday parties and family gatherings. Ask the facility directly whether outside entertainment is permitted in the room you reserve and what setup space it provides for a character visit.

Choosing your character and visit

Once you know the space, think about the character that fits the room and the number of guests. A shelter by the lake and a gymnasium suggest different kinds of play. Ask the entertainer how they would adapt a visit to your location and time, and which activities they can offer as options to discuss.

Your program is shaped around your request. Activities and their order may differ from these examples.
