Anything over 50 people will require a permit for a fee, port a potty rentals and large deposits per each 150 people. There are required health and safety standards for parks and recreation.
Also you may have to adjust dates depending on the location's availability, they may already have others being permitted. You may want to find a place willing to accept chickens first (this was difficult for me) and what their available dates are, then arrange the date for us.
You don't want to advertise or you will go well beyond the 50 people (we nearly did without advertising) and you can be thrown out if the permit doesn't cover it or there is not enough port a potties or clean up deposits and rental fees (if anyone is policing the park).
Also when getting the permit you will want to say it is a private event - not open to the public - or you will run into the same issues of required port a potties, fees, deposits etc.... unless you rent a pre-existing area set up for those things, but that is somewhat expensive.
If you know the park and know it isn't monitored well or the rangers just won't care, you likely won't have a problem. Otherwise, I would make sure you are prepared so it won't get shut down- especially with people driving long distances to be there.
