Pembroke Pines, FL Public Conduct: Public Alcohol Use (2026)

06 of the Pembroke Pines Code of Ordinances, adopted by Ordinance 1911 on September 4, 2018, sits inside Chapter 97's park-rules subchapter and applies to every city park facility in Pembroke Pines. The default rule is a flat prohibition: no person may bring into, consume, or sell alcoholic beverages in a park facility. Two narrow carve-outs exist. Under division (A), alcohol may be sold only by a concessionaire operating under a city concession contract, subject to the regulation and control of the Director of Recreation and Cultural Arts; sales must be by the individual drink, consumed on the concession premises, and the code specifically forbids selling beer or wine in unopened containers even through that concession.

Division (B) lets a private entrepreneur who leases city park premises for food service offer alcoholic beverages, subject to whatever the lease and the city allow. Every other scenario, including a family picnic bringing a cooler of beer or a private event supplying its own wine, falls outside these exceptions and is unlawful. 20's disorderly-conduct rule, enforced the same way. 05 does not by itself authorize alcohol service; a permit holder still needs the concession or lease arrangement described above before drinks can legally be served at an event.
