(A) It shall be unlawful for any person to:
(1) Drive or operate any vehicle in, over or through any park area except upon drives, streets, boulevards or other areas designated for such purposes;
(2) Stop, stand or park any motor vehicle or to permit any such motor vehicle to so stop, stand or park within any park except within the limit lines of a designated parking stall or a passenger curb loading zone; or
(3) Wash a vehicle in any park or do routine maintenance in any park area not specifically designated for that purpose.
(B) It is an affirmative defense to prosecution under division (A) of this section that the driving, stopping, standing, or parking was due to temporary mechanical failure of the vehicle, provided that as soon as reasonably possible the operator completed emergency repairs or summoned tow removal equipment, as appropriate.
(C) The Director is authorized to establish time limits for the parking of motor vehicles within designated parking areas of the city's parks.
(D) If any motor vehicle is found within any park in violation of this division and the identity of the operator of such vehicle cannot be determined:
(1) It is rebuttably presumed that the registered owner of the vehicle is the person who stopped, stood, or parked the vehicle at the time and place of the alleged offense; and
(2) The police may remove or impound the vehicle as provided by law.
