PARK RULES

Any park area should be a place of personal enjoyment and relaxation in addition to a place of recreation. In order to fulfill the needs of many different people, policies and regulations are set to aid in controlling the use and conduct in the parks to best provide a quality experience for each visitor.

All park areas are covered by an ordinance designed to protect the park atmosphere. In essence, the same laws apply in a park as in any public place or roadway, but several regulations are stressed to cover general park usage.
