New Park Rules Ordinace Approved

The controversial new park rules were approved by the City Council on Tuesday May 1st. While the ban on alcohol got the most press, there are many other aspects to the rule changes, such as a ban on polystyrene coolers and cups, smoking, and increases in fines for littering. The rules will go into effect in January 2013. Most of these rule changes effect activities that take place in the river side parks.
