(A) If the city has already acquired or hereafter acquires land for park purposes or recreational facilities or has already built or hereafter builds swimming pools, recreational facilities, or dams, the Mayor and City Council may each year make and levy a tax upon the taxable value of all the taxable property in the city. The levy shall be collected and put into the city treasury and shall constitute the Park and Recreation Fund of the city. The funds so levied and collected shall be used for amusements; for laying out, improving, and beautifying such parks; for maintaining, improving, managing, and beautifying such swimming pools, recreational facilities, or dams; and for the payment of salaries and wages of persons employed in the performance of such labor.
(Neb. RS 17-951)

(Neb. RS 17-952)

RS 17-948, the jurisdiction of the City Council or Park Board shall at once be extended over such real estate; and the City Council or Park Board shall have power to enact bylaws, rules, or ordinances for the protection and preservation of any real estate acquired, and to provide rules and regulations for the closing of the park or swimming pool, in whole or in part, to the general public, and charge admission thereto during such closing, either by the city or by any person, persons, or corporation leasing same. They may provide suitable penalties for the violation of such bylaws, rules, or ordinances; and the police power of the city shall be at once extended over the same.
