§19.20.080(4) prohibits the use of amplified sound in city parks and buildings without a permit. Combined with the citywide §8.13 noise limits, this is the main rule for music in public spaces such as Albert Park, Pickleweed Park, and the Civic Center grounds.
Park events with amplification require a Parks and Recreation special-use permit under §19.20.030. Maintenance noise rules under §8.13.050 still apply to gardener-operated equipment in parks. Operating motorized vehicles or aircraft (including drones) in city parks is prohibited under §19.20.070(L) without permission.
$100/$410 infraction or $500/$2,050 misdemeanor under §19.20.080(4) and related park-rule sections.
