Full Breakdown

040(Y) reads in full: 'Alcohol Prohibited. 040(AA) separately requires anyone conducting a group event, celebration, parade, service or speech-making in a park to first obtain permission from the supervisory authority, since city parks are classified as a limited public forum. ' The neighboring subsection (X) similarly bars possessing or using illegal drugs within a park, and subsection (W) bars fighting, riotous or boisterous conduct, and abusive, threatening, profane or indecent language on or at a recreational or park facility, showing the alcohol ban sits in a run of general public-conduct prohibitions rather than a licensing scheme.
