The city parks permit page says a permit is required for events with more than 20 attendees. Check your guest count and ask the parks office whether your gathering needs one.
The city's permit page asks applicants to apply at least 21 days before the event. Earlier is safer if your date is fixed.
New York State Parks lists gazebos, pavilions, rooms, tents and picnic areas, with sizes ranging from small gazebos to large covered shelters with restrooms.
Not every park allows outside entertainment. Please ask the venue to confirm their rules before you book.
A character visit can work well at a park gathering, but the venue details shape the plan. Before choosing a theme, it helps to know whether the party will be in a city park, a state park, or a private room, because each has its own rules.
For New York City Parks, the city's special event permit page says a permit is required for any event with more than 20 attendees. The same page asks applicants to apply at least 21 days before the event. Count your guests, including children and adults, before you assume a small gathering needs no paperwork. Ask the parks office directly whether your planned gathering and any outside entertainer fall under these rules.

New York State Parks rents a wide range of spaces, from intimate gazebos to larger covered shelters with restrooms. Their event rental page describes a large statewide inventory of pavilions, rooms, tents, gazebos and picnic areas. Think about how many children you expect, whether you want shade, and whether a covered shelter would suit a costumed character moving around the group. Ask the park which space fits your party size and whether outside entertainment is allowed there.

Some useful questions to bring to a venue: Will the party take place indoors or outdoors? Is there a covered area nearby if the weather changes? How much space is there for games or a short parade around the group? Once the venue answers these, you can pick a character whose activities fit the room, such as a short story, dance break, or photo time.
