§ 18-85. Picnicking.

(a) No picnicking shall occur in any park areas except those that are designated for that purpose.

(b) Use of the picnic area facilities, including picnic shelters, individual fireplaces, tables and benches, generally follows the rule of "first-come, first-served." However, this practice shall not preclude city personnel from assigning or reserving park facilities for the use of particular persons or groups. A fee for such reserved usage shall be assessed in accordance with section 18-182

(c) No person shall use any portion of a picnic area or of any structures therein for an unreasonable time if the park facilities are crowded.

(d) To maintain cleanliness and to reduce fire hazards, each picnic party shall completely extinguish any fire and place all refuse, waste and trash in disposal containers where provided. If there are no such containers immediately available, then refuse shall be carried away by the user of the picnic facility and disposed of elsewhere.
