South Jordan, UT Public Conduct: Public Alcohol Use (2026)

South Jordan City Code § 12.16.040 flatly bars 'possession or consumption of alcohol' in every city park, trail, and open space, with no exception written into the code for private parties or gatherings. The rule sits in the same prohibited-activities list as smoking, fireworks, hunting, and unauthorized fires, all adopted under Ordinance 2016-10. South Jordan Memorial Park incorporates the same parks-chapter regulations, so the cemetery grounds carry an identical alcohol restriction. Anyone wanting alcohol at a park event needs written authorization tied to a reserved facility or special event permit approved by the city manager's office; showing up with a drink otherwise is a violation regardless of intent.
