Questions parents ask

Still wondering? Call (866) 306-1384 and talk to a person.

How many guests can a city picnic site hold?

Picnic sites serve up to 50 people, and pavilions can hold up to 150. Larger pavilions at Belmont Grove can each hold up to 250. Confirm the exact arrangement for your date with the park.

When can I get a picnic permit in Philadelphia parks?

Picnic permits are issued from April through October. For dates outside that season, ask about indoor rental options.

Do I need to plan around pets at a city park party?

Yes. Dogs and pets must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet at all times in city parks, so mention this to guests and plan the character's space accordingly.

Can I rent a Parks & Recreation space for a private party?

Many Parks & Recreation spaces are available to rent for private events. Ask the department which venues are open for your date and whether they are a good fit for a character visit.

Character parties in Philadelphia

Philadelphia has many outdoor options for a children's birthday, and a character visit works best when the space is chosen before the theme is finalized. The city park details below help you decide what kind of setting to ask about.

Planning a character visit in Philadelphia

Picnic sites and pavilions

Philadelphia Parks & Recreation picnic sites in city parks are designated spots, and most have at least three tables and a trash can, with some offering more. Picnic sites serve up to 50 people. Pavilions can hold up to 150 people, and the larger ones at Belmont Grove can each hold up to 250. A crowd size of around 15 to 25 children with parents may fit comfortably at a standard site, so ask the park which location suits your guest count and whether the character needs a clear open area.

Timing a permitted outdoor party

Picnic permits for these city park sites are issued from April through October. If your birthday falls in that window and you want a designated picnic site or pavilion, start the permit process early and bring your chosen date to the park. For a birthday outside those months, ask whether indoor space or another arrangement is possible.

Questions to bring to the park

Ask whether your chosen site allows the character to perform in the open area, where guests can sit, and how far the nearest restrooms are from the activity. Confirm whether dogs and pets will be present, since city park rules require leashes no longer than 6 feet at all times. Ask about rules for littering and vehicle access so your character's props and setup stay on paths and open areas.
