   Yes.. Of course. Absolutely agree! Here is the ACLU on it, and two other interesting sites:

   Park Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Film and Photography Shoots: https://www.nycgovparks.org/permits/film-and-photo-guidelines

   No vehicles will be permitted to park within a park’s perimeter unless previously approved.
   Filming will not be permitted where it would compromise the privacy of park patrons (ex: comfort stations and locker rooms).
   Any extensive set-up on park lawns must be cleared in advance. Please note that regulations concerning extensive set-up vary by park.
   Requests to tie, drape, or attach rope, props, or equipment to trees, shrubs, fences, or benches will be declined, as will requests to tie or attach anything to any architectural features, statues, sculptures, or fountains. Cutting, tying back, or altering shrubs, plantings, or trees in any way is illegal and will not be permitted.
   If set-up requires cable or live wires, any cable that crosses a pedestrian path must be covered and all appropriate safety measures taken.
   No directional signs for filming locations of any kind may be posted or staked into the ground.
   All materials brought in by permitees, including trash, must be removed from the park. Summonses will be issued for any trash left behind and any damage to park property. All areas should be left in the condition in which they were found.

   On the NY Public Library site:
   https://www.nypl.org/spacerental/filming
   “No location shoot can endanger the building(s) or interfere with public service. Shoots taking place in a public area of the Library must take place when the Library is closed to the public.”
