All individuals are prohibited from bringing any alcoholic beverage into the DCRP facilities for private consumption except where the individual has a valid issued special event permit.
      (2)   The sale of alcoholic beverages at DCRP facilities are prohibited except during events hosted by DCRP and/or any renter(s) who have an issued special event permit. All alcohol must remain in designated areas as pre-determined by DCRP, and be for personal consumption only.
