Full Breakdown

Section 17-33(g) of the Largo Code of Ordinances singles out two specific locations inside Largo Central Park for a skating and wheeled-device ban: the Military Court of Honor and the Rotary Rainbow Playground. The text states that no person may 'use roller or inline skates, skateboards or bikes in or about the Military Court of Honor of Largo Central Park,' and further specifies that 'no bikes, skateboards, roller or inline skates or motorized vehicles of any sort are allowed' in either the Military Court of Honor or the Rotary Rainbow Playground.

The ban is narrower than a citywide skateboarding rule: it targets these two named park features rather than sidewalks, streets or business districts generally, and it sits alongside a related restriction in Section 17-33(h) barring anyone from bathing in a park fountain or reservoir. The Military Court of Honor also carries its own vendor restriction under Section 17-25(h)-(i), reserving it for recognized military memorial services and barring vendors or performers there entirely, which reflects the same memorial character behind the skating ban. The supplied city code does not contain a broader, citywide skateboarding ordinance covering business districts or public sidewalks outside these two named park areas; Section 17-33(g) is the only skateboarding-specific provision in the code.

Violations & Fines

Riding a skateboard, roller skates, inline skates or a bike in or around the Military Court of Honor or the Rotary Rainbow Playground at Largo Central Park violates Section 17-33(g) and is punished under Section 17-38: a fine of up to $500, up to 60 days in jail, or both. Department staff or law enforcement may also order a violator to leave the area.
