Current <br />City ordinance states that parks are open to the public from G:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. There aze, <br />however, cases where activities axe operating outside that timeframe. Examples of activities that aze <br />occurring after pazk hours include: <br />• Mountain bike riding at Hillside Park <br />• Hikers/Skiers at Woodland Trails Park <br />• Disk golf at Lions Park <br />• Parks and Recreation events such as Fright Night <br />The Parks and Recreation Commission discussed, at their September 8, 2010 meeting, that adjustment to <br />the ordinance will allow appropriate activities to occur in pazks outside of established hours under the <br />direction of the Parks and Recreadon Department. <br />To summarize the proposed changes, the current ordinance only allows parks to be used from 6:00 a.m. <br />through 10:00 p.m. The proposed ordinance change would allow two pazks, Hillside City Pazk and <br />Woodland Trails Park, to be used until 12:00 am with approval of the Ciry and with issuance of a permit. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />• Proposed Ordinance Amendment <br />Action Motion by _ Second by _ Vote _ <br />Follow Up <br />5:\Parks & Recrntion\Recrration\2010 PRC Pazkets\10.1}10 PRC Packet\Park Hours Request Por Action.doc <br />
