I need you help!

So my son's birthday is in the middle of October. I live in Baltimore city and we are looking at about 35+ people and again...I live in the city. 

 I stress this because where are 35 people going to park. 

 

So I was thinking about renting a pavilion in a park.

 Does anyone know any good ones?

 Or maybe a small place?

 

I am not rich by any means so any ideas have to be affordable.  

 

 

I thank you for any help. I'm pulling my hair out about this.

How old os your son? Will the party be a bunch of kids or mostly adults?  Are you looking for something activity oriented or just a big open space?

Oregon Ridge Park in Hunt Valley (about 20 min north of the city) has pavillions that they rent.  I am sure other parks do as well.  The Baltimore County Parks and Recreation page has a list of all the parks in Baltimore County and what amenities are offered at each.  https://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/Agencies/recreation/countyparks/index.html

When I was a kid bowling and skating rink parties were a big hit.  You could also look for one of those indoor bounce house places or Little Gym.  Kiddie Crusoe is a fun place in Timonium. https://kiddiecrusoe.com/

If you just want a big empty room, look for a VFW or an American Legion. Many of those have party rooms that they rent out.  The Towson American Legion has a nice room: https://towsonamericanlegion.org/

He is only turning a year but I want people to be able to see him and celebrate

It might also be worth thinking about how many cars we're actually talking about.  35 people - but how many families?  Are there people that would carpool?  At the end of the day, we might be talking about less than 10 cars - which would give you some more flexibility.

There are lots of restaurants/bars that have spaces you can use to hold a party. We had my daughter's first birthday party at the now defunct Muggsy's.

As for parking, make sure that you don't have it on a game day. Most neighborhoods have parking garages. If you were having it at your house and you live in a parking area you can get one day passes from the parking dept on Lombard.

What about the zoo or one of the arboritums (sp?) or Patterson Park or another park?

 Where in the city are you?
