Full Breakdown
Section 5-21.207 of the Huntington Park Municipal Code makes it unlawful to use or operate skateboards and in-line skates upon any sidewalk or roadway in the business or commercial areas of the City of Huntington Park at eleven listed locations: City Hall; public parks located within the City, unless the director has designated a particular activity or program to take place at a City park; and the streets Florence Avenue, Gage Avenue, Slauson Avenue, Pacific Boulevard, Santa Fe Avenue, Alameda Street, Rugby Avenue, Seville Avenue and State Street. Pacific Boulevard, the city's main shopping corridor, is on the list.
The definitions in § 5-21.203 set the reach of the ban. A "skateboard" is any platform of any composition or size with two or more wheels, ridden or propelled by a person standing or kneeling on it, with no seat or steering mechanism. "In-line skates," including roller blades, are any shoe, boot or other footwear with one or more wheels attached. "Sidewalk" includes pedestrian walkways in any parks within the commercial or business districts.
Section 5-21.208 lets the City Council review the business and commercial areas from time to time and add areas designated for the nonuse of skateboards or in-line skates, by adopting or amending an ordinance or by resolution. Section 5-21.209 applies everywhere, not just on the listed streets: no person shall operate a skateboard, in-line skates or similar device on any sidewalk, street or parking area in a way that endangers the safety of any other person or property or restricts the movements of pedestrians, and riding within five feet of a pedestrian constitutes endangerment. The same rule is repeated in § 5-21.102(a) for park grounds.
The designated place to skate is the public skate park at 3401 East Florence Avenue (§ 5-21.202). Under § 5-21.204, no one may ride there without a helmet, elbow pads and knee pads, all functional, protective and properly sized, and every person under the age of 14 must be supervised by an adult. The skate park is open 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily or as otherwise posted (§ 5-21.212), and § 5-21.210(d) treats stunts, tricks and luge skateboarding by a person under 14 as reckless operation.
Violations & Fines
Section 5-21.216 declares a violation of the skate chapter an infraction in the amount of $50, and § 5-21.215 lets the Director or designee eject anyone from the skate park and cite violators. Section 5-21.103 also sends violations of the park chapter to the § 1-2.01 infraction schedule: $50 for a first conviction, $100 for a second within one year, and $250 for a third or later conviction within one year. Presence in the skate park between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. without a permit is a misdemeanor under § 5-21.211.
