Geometry Modes: Parks, Plazas, Streets

Space Stager supports three geometry modes. Pick the one that matches where your event will take place.

Parks Permit Areas (Polygons)​

  • Use when your event is inside a NYC Parks–managed space.
  • Search by park name/property; focus is scoped to the selected park polygon.
  • Permit authority: NYC Parks & Recreation.

Choose this if: the venue is a park property (e.g., Prospect Park, Central Park).

DOT Plaza Areas (Polygons)​

  • Use for public plazas managed by NYC DOT.
  • Search by frontage street names; focus is scoped to the plaza polygon.
  • Permit authority: SAPO (Street Activity Permit Office).

Choose this if: the venue is a designated public plaza (e.g., Times Sq pedestrian plaza segments).

Street Network (Intersections / Blocks)​

  • Use for events on public streets (block-by-block).
  • Search by cross streets; focus uses intersection/segment points to define working extents.
  • Permit authority: SAPO.

Choose this if: the venue is a city street segment (block party, open street, curbside activation).
