DC Parks and Recreation asks that you apply at least 30 days in advance and no later than two weeks before your event. Reservations for some Rock Creek Park picnic areas are also required April through November.
The maximum is 75 picnickers per site, and the shelters will not accommodate all participants at the same time, so plan your guest count and seating with that limit in mind.
Several fields, including Anacostia, Fort Dupont, Haines Point, Rock Creek Park, the National Mall and West Potomac, are managed by the National Park Service, so check the managing agency for the exact site you want.
Yes. Ask the venue or permitting office whether outside entertainers are permitted at your chosen location before you finalize plans, since rules can differ by site.
Washington DC has several outdoor areas that families use for birthday gatherings, and choosing the right one affects how you plan a character visit. Start by deciding whether you want a park picnic site, a permitted field, or a private venue, then pick a character and activity mix that fits the space.
Hains Point, at the southern tip of East Potomac Park, is a picnic destination with views of the Potomac River, Anacostia River and Washington Channel. Its picnic areas have a limit of 75 picnickers per site, and the shelters will not hold everyone at once, so count your guests before you settle on a spot. Ask whether your guest list and any outside entertainer will fit comfortably under the shelter you reserve.

Ask whether the site you choose has grills, picnic tables and parking, since some National Capital Parks-East locations provide these for birthday gatherings. Confirm whether outside entertainers are permitted at your chosen location, and ask what power access, shade and space the character visit will need. Discuss which character and activities suit the setting, such as a quiet story circle for a shaded shelter or a movement game for an open field.
