A. The City Council of the City of Reedley finds, and this chapter is adopted in light of these findings, that it is in the public interest to regulate the use of public parks and recreation areas in the City for meetings, assemblies, activities or other events in order to ensure that such events are carried out in a safe manner, in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the use of such parks and recreation areas by other members of the general public not participating in the event, and in a manner which does not damage park property, playgrounds and other City property, including landscaping or natural vegetation.
B. The terms "public park" or "recreation area" as used herein shall include all park sites and City parks, whether formally designated, named, or unnamed, and all land, lakes, rivers, beaches and roadside rests, together with the improvements and facilities provided thereon or therein, which are owned or operated by the City as a public park or public recreation area and the provisions of this chapter shall apply thereto.
