APPENDIX
38-18. PICNIC REGULATIONS.
   No person in a park shall:
   (1)   Picnic or lunch in a place other than those designated for that purpose. Attendants shall have the authority to regulate the activities in such areas when necessary to prevent congestion and to secure the maximum use for the comfort and convenience of all. Park visitors shall comply with any directions given to achieve this end;
   (2)   Violate the regulation that use of the individual fireplaces, together with tables and benches, follows generally the rule of "first come, first served;"
   (3)   Use any portion of the picnic areas or of any of the buildings or structures therein for the purpose of holding picnics to the exclusion of other persons or use such area and facilities for an unreasonable time, if the facilities are crowded;
   (4)   Leave a picnic area before the fire is completely extinguished and before all trash in the nature of boxes, papers, cans, bottles, garbage and other refuse is placed in the disposal receptacles where provided. If no such trash receptacles are available, then refuse and trash shall be carried away from the park area by the picnicker to be properly disposed of elsewhere.
(1978 Code, § 26-18)
