(a)

Vehicles in parks. Generally it is unlawful for any person to drive, operate, and/or park any motor vehicle, minibike, or motorcycle within any city park, except in areas designated for such use. This section does not apply to city employees when municipal duties require them to drive over said park and/or to park their vehicles or equipment in order to perform city business. All operators of motorcycles, trail bikes, off-road vehicles and other motorized vehicles must conform to the same rules and regulations as those of any other motor vehicle. No person shall grease, lubricate, or make repairs to any vehicle, except those of a minor nature, and then only in case of emergency.

(b)

Abandonment. Leaving any vehicle or other personal property for longer than 24 hours, without prior permission of the recreation and parks director, is prohibited and any property so left is impounded. In the event unattended property interferes with a safe and orderly management of the park area, it may be impounded immediately.

(c)

Speed limit. It is unlawful for any person to operate a motorized vehicle upon any road within a park in the city at a greater speed than 15 miles per hour.

(d)

Skateboards. It is unlawful for any person to operate a skateboard on any street, lane, way, road, sidewalk, and/or any parking lot in any park in the city unless otherwise designated by signage or published rules.
