Full Breakdown
06(F) folds skateboarding into the city's rollerskating rule for parks, alongside in-line skating and rollerskiing. Skaters must stay on paved areas unless a sign posts otherwise, keep to the right side of the trail or roadway, and skate in a prudent, careful manner at a speed safe for others nearby. The same subsection bars skateboarding, in-line skating and rollerskiing in or on any city building, stairway, railing or other park structure, which covers the plazas, steps and rails that draw street-style skating in park settings.
06(G) if they run an unauthorized activity outside a park's planned use. 99: a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail or a $1,000 fine, or, if charged as a petty misdemeanor, a fine of up to $300, with each day of continued violation counted as a separate offense. The rule sits next to the city's broader park conduct code, which also regulates cross-country skiing, horseback riding and motorized vehicle speeds of 15 miles per hour, all enforced the same way.
Violations & Fines
Skating on grass, dirt or an unpaved trail outside a posted allowance, or skateboarding on a park building, stairway, railing or other structure, violates § 95.06(F) and is cross-referenced to the general penalty in § 10.99: up to 90 days and a $1,000 fine as a misdemeanor, or up to $300 as a petty misdemeanor, with each day of a continuing violation charged separately.
