(A) Access. Access and use of all parks and recreational facilities are based on a first-come, first-served basis, unless reserved by a permitted group. (Exception: softball fields #1 & #2 Worth Shaw Sports Complex.) Youth groups granted permitting privilege will not use facilities except through the permitting process. The city's Leisure Services Division will furnish applications and guidelines and approval for reserved uses.
(B) Interference. No person within any park or building shall use or attempt to use or interfere with the use of any table, space or facility within said park or building which at the time is reserved for any other person or group that has received a permit from the Director therefor. Unless the actual use of table, space, area, building or facility, referred to in any such permit has commenced within one hour after the period covered by such permit begins, such permit shall become void and all rights under such permit may be canceled.
(C) Fire/barbecues. No person shall light or maintain any fire in any parks or recreation facility unless such fire is lighted and maintained in a place specifically provided for that purpose, i.e., BBQ pits. Fuel shall be of such types and kindled in such a manner as to prevent the danger of fire in the surrounding vegetation.
(D) Facility use. Within a park and recreation facility no person shall construct or erect any building, run or string any public service utility, except by special written permit. No person shall wear footwear that will damage, injure or create the need for excessive maintenance on any field, court, deck, floor, turf or specialized surface prepared for particular games or activities. No group, organization or individual shall use field and turf areas when raining, wet or muddy conditions exist.
(E) Duplication of keys. Keys to city padlocks or door locks are not to be duplicated without express written permission of the Director.
(F) Alcohol. No alcohol may be brought to or consumed in a public park or recreation facility without a permit from the Director.
(G) Designated areas. The Director may select or designate special areas and facilities at any park that may be limited to special uses, all the time, or at specified times. Such areas include, but are not limited to, picnic areas, sports areas, wetlands and play areas.
