Dunk Tank Rentals in New York — FAQ
Do I need a permit for a dunk tank in an NYC park?
Yes, for any organized event in a public space like a park, you will likely need a special event permit from the NYC Parks Department. This includes dunk tanks due to water usage.
What kind of water hookup do I need?
A standard garden hose connection is usually sufficient, as long as it reaches your desired setup location. We can provide hoses if needed, but please let us know in advance if you have an unusual setup.
Can I set up a dunk tank on concrete or asphalt?
Absolutely! Dunk tanks can be set up on hard, level surfaces like concrete or asphalt. We use protective padding to prevent damage to the equipment and the ground.

Most dunk tank rentals run $250–$450 per day plus delivery, depending on city and weekend demand.
How is it filled?
A standard garden hose fills the tank in 30–45 minutes. Some operators offer a fast-fill option.
Where can I drain it?
