Full Breakdown

Sec. 50-135 governs the Robbin Lamkin Memorial Water Splash Pad, described in Sec. 50-133 as a splash pad and playground on the north side of Farmersville Parkway between South Hamilton and Johnson Streets. , except when city water restrictions are in effect. Within that seasonal operating window, Sec. 50-135(2) prohibits use of drugs, alcoholic beverages, and tobacco products, whether smoked or smokeless, on the splash pad grounds. The same subsection also bars glass containers, abusive or inappropriate language, pets other than working animals, food or drink on the splash pad surface, skateboards, roller blades, bicycles, and running or rough play, and it requires infants to wear swim diapers and children under 12 to be supervised by an adult.

This sits alongside the city's separate general no-smoking rule for enclosed city buildings and facilities in Sec. 32-255, but Sec. 50-135 is the section that reaches an open-air public recreation space by name rather than an enclosed structure. The city disclaims liability for injury or property loss at the splash pad under Sec. 50-136, and the broader playground area carries its own restrictions on alcohol, drugs, fires and fireworks under Sec. 50-134.

Violations & Fines

Smoking or using tobacco at the splash pad in violation of Sec. 50-135 is a park regulations violation under Article II of chapter 50. Sec. 50-26 makes any violation of that article a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500.00, with each transaction in violation treated as a separate offense.

Can I smoke at the Farmersville splash pad?
No. Sec. 50-135(2) prohibits tobacco use, whether smoking or smokeless, at the Robbin Lamkin Memorial Water Splash Pad during its Memorial Day through Labor Day operating season, alongside bans on drugs, alcohol and glass containers there.
Does Farmersville ban smoking in all its parks?
The code names the splash pad specifically in Sec. 50-135(2); other municipal park sections such as Sec. 50-26 through 50-32 do not repeat a tobacco ban, so the citywide park-wide reach of an outdoor smoking rule is limited to that facility as written.

Up to a $500.00 fine. Sec. 50-26 makes any violation of the park regulations article, which includes Sec. 50-135, a misdemeanor with a maximum $500.00 fine, and treats each violation as a separate offense.
