The city's parks special event permit page says a permit is required for any event with more than 20 attendees. If your guest list is larger than that, contact the parks office and apply at least 21 days before your event.
New York State Parks reservations for shelters and pavilions can be made up to 11 months in advance through ReserveAmerica. Booking early is wise for popular weekend dates.
Check first with the park or venue whether outside entertainers are permitted. Ask whether any separate approval is needed before you confirm a character visit.
Ask about the permit or reservation process, the guest count limits that apply to your space, and whether there are any rules about entertainers or activities in the area you plan to use.
New York spans a lot of different park systems, and the rules for hosting a party outdoors depend on whose land you are using. Before you pick a character and a date, it helps to know which park authority runs the space you have in mind. A visit to a home, a rented room or a backyard follows different questions than a visit in a public park.
If your party is in a New York City park, the city's parks department sets its own rules. The parks special event permit page says a permit is required for any event with more than 20 attendees, and it asks that applications be submitted at least 21 days before the event. A small gathering may stay under that threshold, but a classroom-size group of guests can quickly cross it. Ask the parks office directly about your guest count and timing, and bring your final headcount to that conversation.

New York State Parks handle shelter and pavilion reservations separately from city parks. Reservations for shelters and pavilions are made through ReserveAmerica, and bookings can be placed up to 11 months ahead. If you have a favorite state park in mind, check its shelter availability early, especially for weekend spring and summer dates. Confirm with the park which shelter you are reserving, since the reservation page and your character visit plans should match.

Once you know the location and whether a permit is needed, you can narrow your character choice. Ask the venue or park whether outside entertainers are allowed and whether a visit needs its own approval. Discuss the length of the visit, the number of children, and whether you would like the character to lead games, read a story or pose for photos. Those details help you decide how much of the afternoon the visit should fill.
