§ 32-59. Park use permit required.

(a)

Park use permits are required for certain activities so that parks personnel can limit or eliminate activities that would tend to damage the park or are likely to create an atmosphere that would discourage use of the park for its intended purpose or, if not limited via regulatory controls or eliminated, would allow one person or group to monopolize any portion of a park, park road, or other park property to the exclusion of others. Pursuant to section 32-5 of this Code, the director shall identify and may from time to time amend the designation of any portion of a park, park road, or park property wherein any conduct authorized by this article or other proposed use inconsistent with the use of the park, park road, or park property for its intended purposes is strictly prohibited.

(b)

Notwithstanding the regulatory provisions of this article and other applicable provisions of this Code incorporated by reference herein, nothing in this article shall be construed to prevent members of the public from assembling in parks for the purpose of engaging in lawful activities without holding a permit pursuant to the terms of this article.
