Paterson is a city, so local park rules come from the City of Paterson Parks and Recreation office rather than from county or state offices. A character visit at a park involves a few decisions about the location, the event paperwork, and the kind of activities you want, so it helps to sort those out before you settle on a character.
The City of Paterson Parks and Recreation pages state that a bazaar, carnival, circus, festival or picnic that charges admission or sells goods or food needs a city license first. Whether a private birthday party with a costumed character falls under that rule depends on how the event is run, so ask the parks office directly before booking. Ask whether a party like yours needs any license, and confirm this with the city rather than assuming it does or does not.

City reservations are held for seven days after the request. The dates can be lost if the park application and insurance paperwork have not been submitted in that window. Plan to send both documents quickly after you request a date, and ask the office what insurance they need so the paperwork is ready.

Pennington Park at 372 McBride Avenue lists a mix of spaces that can shape the party: a pavilion, a playground, two basketball courts, volleyball courts, a baseball field, grass and turf soccer fields. The Great Falls and Overlook Park area is listed at 72 McBride Avenue. Consider how many children you expect, whether you want a covered gathering spot, and whether a playground nearby would keep younger guests busy while the character arrives. Ask the parks office which area suits your date and whether the pavilion is available for your booking.

Ask whether your date is open, what application and insurance forms apply, and whether a private party with a costumed entertainer needs a permit. Ask whether the pavilion can be reserved on the same date. Ask where the main office is located at 810 Broadway if you prefer to visit in person.
