Full Breakdown
Section 90.02 of the Collierville Code of Ordinances, titled Parks; Hours of Operation, is a one-sentence closure rule. No person shall be upon the grounds of any Town park between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The single exception is a specific event authorized by the Collierville Parks and Recreation Board. The rule binds everyone, residents and visitors alike, and it does not turn on whether the person is causing a disturbance.
Chapter 90 opens with a statement of purpose from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Section 90.01 recognizes that certain activities in Town parks and upon public property pose significant risk to public safety, transportation and the well being of Town-owned facilities and grounds, and treats them as a public nuisance to the citizens of Collierville. The chapter regulates those activities as they relate to public parks and public facilities.
Other park rules in the same chapter apply while the park is open. Section 90.07 requires park visitors to obey traffic officers and park employees, park only in established or designated parking areas, and leave no vehicle standing or parked at night without lights clearly visible for at least 100 feet from both front and rear on any driveway or road area, except in legally established parking areas. Section 90.08 bars playing a radio, television, amplifier or loud speaker so as to create a noise plainly audible to any person other than the operator in or on the grounds of any Town park, except for activities for which the Parks and Recreation Department has issued a permit. Section 90.03 bars driving golf balls on park land outside posted areas.
Section 90.02 refers to Town park grounds. Collierville Town Hall, the Police Facility, the Library, the Community Center, the Harrell Theater and Town-owned parking structures carry their own skateboard restriction in § 90.04, not this hours rule.
Violations & Fines
Section 90.02 points to § 90.99: any person, firm, partnership, corporation or other legal entity violating any of the ordinances of the Town shall be fined not more than $50 or the maximum amount permitted by state law, whichever is greater, for each offense, and a separate offense shall be deemed committed for each day of violation. The Collierville Police Department patrols the parks.
