If you are planning to host a party in one of the NYC Parks, be aware of their rules and requirements:
1. Special events permits are required for events/activities where twenty or more people will be present. School picnics, birthday parties, and field days all require a special events permit. There is a $25 non-refundable administrative processing fee for all special events permits and it requires at least 21 to 30 days to be processed (Different guidelines apply to demonstrations and rallies). Please plan accordingly.
2. While a permit does not guarantee exclusive use of an area within the park, it does give the permit-holder the right to hold his or her event in a specific area and ensures that other groups are not issued a permit to use the same space.
3. To install a tent, you must receive permission from the Special Events office, and you can't stake the tent into the ground. In Manhattan, tents are generally not allowed, except under very limited circumstances.
4. NY Parks don't provide access to electricity or water unless agreed upon in advance with Parks staff. For access to electricity, it is advised to applicants to rent a generator. Any other requests for services should be directed in writing to the Special Events office.
5. You will also need a Sound Permit from the New York Police Department (NYPD) if you plan to have amplified sound at your event and/or a permit from our Revenue division if you plan to vend/sell anything in the park. To get a Sound Permit from NYPD, you must first have your Parks permit, including permission from Parks to use amplified sound. When you have received your Parks permit, take it to your local precinct to receive a Sound Permit. NYPD Sound Permits cost $45.00, and you must apply at least five days in advance of your event.
6. Inflatables and mechanical rides are not permitted at any events in any of the boroughs.
