Aurora follows the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act and bans smoking and vaping in city parks, near building entrances, and at outdoor public events, with both tobacco and cannabis subject to the rules.
Colorado's Clean Indoor Air Act (CRS 25-14-201) bans indoor smoking in workplaces and public buildings, and Aurora extends the no-smoking perimeter under municipal code. Smoking and vaping are prohibited in Aurora parks, on trails, near playground equipment, and within a set distance of building entrances. Cannabis consumption is treated like tobacco for these purposes, since Amendment 64 forbids public consumption regardless of legal possession. Aurora Parks and Recreation posts signage at entrances, and rangers may issue citations. Smoke-free housing rules in Aurora Housing Authority properties add separate restrictions for residents and guests.
Smoking or vaping inside city parks, playgrounds, trails, or within posted distances of building entrances can result in warnings, citations, and fines from Aurora Parks rangers.
