Summary
Converse bans bicycles and skateboards from park pavilions citywide, backed by a misdemeanor fine of up to $200 per offense.
No motorized vehicles, except maintenance or emergency vehicles, will be allowed in any part of the park, except designated street and parking areas without special permission of the city manager. Bicycles and skateboards are prohibited from the park pavilion.
Full Breakdown
City code doesn't set a citywide skateboarding ban for streets or business districts, but Sec. 30-66 bars bicycles and skateboards from the park pavilion in every Converse city park, alongside a separate ban on dirt bikes, ATVs, and go-carts in all city parks. The rule sits inside the parks-and-recreation regulations, not the traffic code, so it applies only to pavilion areas -- riding elsewhere in a park or on city streets isn't addressed by this section. Anyone cited under the parks article, including for this pavilion restriction, faces the misdemeanor penalty set out in Sec. 30-71.
Violations & Fines
Misdemeanor, fine up to $200 per violation; each continuing day counts as a separate offense.
