Questions parents ask

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

Do I need to reserve a park space in Tempe for a party?

It depends on the space. Athletic fields, courts and ramadas require a reservation with the City of Tempe, so check the specific park before you plan.

How long does a park reservation take to process?

The City asks applicants to allow five business days because of high demand and the time needed to review paperwork.

Can I rent a classroom at a Tempe community center?

Yes. The Clark Park Community Center at 1730 S. Roosevelt Street has four classrooms available for private events. Confirm the room's availability and rules directly with the center.

Should I ask the venue about outside entertainers?

Yes. Venue rules vary, so ask whether a costumed character performer is permitted before you book the character for that location.

Planning a character visit in Tempe

Parks and ramadas

Some City of Tempe park spaces need a reservation, while others do not. Athletic fields, courts and ramadas fall into the group that requires a reservation, so a family planning a party on a field or under a ramada should plan ahead. City staff ask applicants to allow five business days for processing because of high demand and paperwork review. Ask the venue directly whether outside entertainers are allowed in the space you choose.

Community and recreation centers

Several community and recreation centers across Tempe offer private-use rentals, including classrooms, athletic facilities, ramadas and pools. The Clark Park Community Center at 1730 S. Roosevelt Street has four classrooms that can be rented for meetings or social events. Whether a classroom, ramada or pool suits a character visit depends on the room layout and the center's own rules, so confirm those details with the center before finalizing your plans.

Questions to bring to the venue

Before booking a character, consider asking the venue whether a costumed performer may enter, whether there is a space for the character to change, and where the group will gather. It is also worth asking how far in advance you should reserve, since a park reservation may take several business days to process.

Your program is shaped around your request. Activities and their order may differ from these examples.
