Our take
3/5The Green suits families looking for an outdoor gathering spot with a historic setting. The City accepts birthday events in its parks and offers permits for park areas, so there is a defined route to request the site. The park sits in downtown Dover near the Courthouse and State House, which gives the occasion a recognizable local backdrop.
This is a simple public-space rental rather than a staffed party package. Families should plan their own activities and confirm the available space, current charge, deposit and any event permits with the City. Applications need at least 15 days for processing and City approval.
