Summary
Smoking, lighting, or carrying a lit pipe, cigar, cigarette, or other smoking device is banned in every city park in Roseville under Municipal Code § 8.02.200(B)(2), and the city posts 'No Smoking' signs in each park to enforce it. The one carve-out is Roseville's own golf courses, Diamond Oaks and Woodcreek, where the smoking ban does not apply.
B. No person shall, within any city park: ... 2. Smoke, light or carry a lighted pipe, cigar, cigarette or other smoking device of any kind. "No Smoking" signs shall be posted in every city park. This smoking prohibition shall not apply to city-owned golf courses.
Full Breakdown
Section 8.02.200(B) lists what no person shall do inside any city park, and the second item bars smoking, lighting, or carrying a lit pipe, cigar, cigarette, or other smoking device of any kind, with no exception for e-cigarettes or vaping devices carved out in the text. The section requires the city to post 'No Smoking' signs in every park so the prohibition is visible on-site, and it expressly exempts city-owned golf courses, Diamond Oaks Municipal Golf Course and Woodcreek Golf Club, from the smoking ban, even though both are separately closed to the public overnight under their own hours sections (§§ 8.02.260, 8.02.261).
The smoking rule sits inside the broader park-use regulations of § 8.02.200, which also bars unpermitted amplified sound, assemblies of more than 50 people lasting over 30 minutes, commercial activity, camping, and structures over 150 square feet, all enforced the same way as the smoking ban. Violations of Chapter 8.02, including the smoking prohibition, are infractions under § 8.02.210, punishable pursuant to the citywide general penalty framework in § 1.20.010.
Violations & Fines
Section 8.02.210 makes any violation of the park regulations chapter, including smoking where signs are posted, an infraction, punishable pursuant to § 1.20.010. Under the city's general infraction schedule in § 1.20.020, a first offense of the same provision draws up to a $100 fine, a second within 12 months up to $200, and a third or later repeat up to $500, with the city attorney able to escalate a fourth repeat to a misdemeanor.
