Full Breakdown
Centennial Municipal Code § 11-7-30(a)(9) makes it unlawful to operate remote control or control-line devices in the air or on the ground within Centennial Center Park; § 11-7-40(b)(10) extends the same ban to devices in the air, on or in the water, or on the ground at Parker Jordan Centennial Open Space. Unlike several other park prohibitions in the same sections, neither provision carries a printed exception allowing drone use under an event permit, so the flying ban applies at both named parks regardless of permit status.
Violations & Fines
Flying a drone or other remote-control device in either park is enforced under § 11-7-60 with a minimum $100 fine per offense, separately chargeable each day the device is operated.
