Alcohol Prohibited

Unless approval for a special liquor license has been granted by the City Council, the possession or consumption of alcohol is prohibited in all City parks.

Animals in Parks

All dogs or animals in any City park must be controlled by the owner at all times. No dog or animal shall be permitted at any time, even when controlled by a leash, within any playground area of any park, within any fenced-in ball field or tennis court, or within any other areas of the park where signs have been posted prohibiting animals. No dogs or animals are allowed in the Park in the Square or Davis Road Park at any time unless part of a permitted special event.

The person accompanying the dog or animal shall immediately clean up and remove any feces or waste product left by their dog.

These restrictions do not apply to dogs or animals providing assistance to any person with a disability.

Parking Regulations

In order to keep our parks looking nice and to help protect the safety of our park patrons, vehicle access and parking in all City parks is limited only to paved roads and paved parking areas. Parking is prohibited on the grass and anywhere other than paved surfaces in all City parks. Parking is prohibited in all City parks after the stated park hours.

Snowmobiles
