Kissimmee, FL Public Conduct: Loitering Rules (2026)

City Code § 28-50 lists 21 prohibited acts that apply "within city park boundaries or on any boat ramp or piers," and item (15) is a single sentence: no loitering "in or around any restroom or locker room." The definition section, § 28-22, gives "city park" a wide reach, covering any publicly owned, operated or controlled land, water or building site used for recreation, including lakefront property, boat ramps, indoor facilities, playgrounds, athletic fields and courts, marinas, boat slips and community centers, so the restroom-loitering ban follows those facilities wherever the city operates them.

The prohibition sits inside Article II, Division 2, "Regulations," alongside § 28-49's separate requirement that anyone using a park clean up debris and leave the grounds "in good order and the facilities in a neat and sanitary condition." Enforcement authority for the whole article traces to § 28-19(c): a person must leave park property "after a lawful command to leave by any law enforcement officer or park ranger or by the city manager or his designee," and § 28-21 directs that the article be "liberally construed" to protect "the health, welfare and safety of persons using the parks." Kissimmee once regulated loitering more broadly through a standalone panhandling article, former §§ 10-514 through 10-518, but the city commission repealed that article outright: Ordinance No.

3112, § 5, adopted January 7, 2025, struck those sections, which had derived from Code 1995 §§ 5-8-40 through 5-8-44 and prior Ordinance Nos. 2194 (1997) and 2516 (2004). That leaves § 28-50(15)'s restroom-and-locker-room rule as the only loitering-specific prohibition left in the Kissimmee Code, and it applies only inside parks, boat ramps and piers, not on public sidewalks or downtown streets generally.
