It is the purpose of the City Council, in establishing rules and regulations governing the use of park and recreational areas in the City, to ensure the public in general, and the inhabitants of this community in particular, full and equal rights to the use and enjoyment of said public facilities without regard to the status or condition of the users of the facilities. It is recognized that society generally and the inhabitants of any community have a right to have publicly owned premises maintained in a sanitary and orderly condition. Further, the City Council recognizes the rights of individuals to speak, write and freely disseminate their views and to make full use of public facilities so long as said rights are exercised in the manner which is not inconsistent with the rights of others and violative of said rights. It is the intent of the City Council, being aware that no rights are absolute, to regulate and prohibit certain activities in public parks and other places of public recreation within the City, in the interest of protecting the enjoyment and safety of the public in the use of the facilities. To further this purpose and intent, the Director of Recreation and Director of Public Works and the City Council are authorized to both promulgate reasonable rules and regulations and post signage as may be necessary and appropriate to carry out the provisions of this chapter.
