Cedar Park has no blanket ban on drones in city parks, but operating a drone over any permitted special event held in a park or other public property — or within 5,000 feet of it — without a Parks and Recreation permit is a Class C misdemeanor under Code Art. 8.11.
Article 8.11 of the Cedar Park Code defines a 'special event' as a festival, celebration, or gathering that involves the reservation and temporary use of all or a portion of a public park, road, or other property, includes entertainment, sale of merchandise/food/beverages, or mass participation in a sports event, and requires significant use or coordination of city services. While a park is hosting a permitted special event, drones are banned from operating from or over the location or within 5,000 ft of it without a permit issued by the Director of Parks and Recreation. Outside of special events, FAA Part 107 / §44809 rules govern park flights; the City has not adopted a general 'no drones in parks' rule, but TPWD rules apply at any state-owned park areas.
Unpermitted drone flight at or near a special event in a Cedar Park park is a Class C misdemeanor under Art. 8.11, with each day a separate offense and fines under Code §1.01.009.
