Full Breakdown

, unless the parks and recreation director posts different hours for a specific facility. Subsection (a) makes it unlawful for any person or vehicle to enter or remain within a recreation facility outside those posted hours, with two narrow outs: the visitor has a permit from the director, or the visitor is taking part in an authorized and scheduled program, class, special event or meeting. The rule works together with section 25-34's parking restriction, which bars leaving a vehicle standing or parked in a recreation facility during closed hours and authorizes towing at the owner's expense for a vehicle left overnight without director permission, and with section 25-42's general permit requirement, which independently makes it unlawful to engage in any activity requiring a permit or ticket without first obtaining it.

Enforcement runs through section 25-2: any authorized law or code enforcement officer may issue a citation, a warning, or simply order a person found in a closed park to leave. without authorization carries whatever fine state law or the city Charter allows, and each day the violation continues counts as a separate offense.
