Moore, OK Public Conduct: Skateboarding Rules (2026)

Section 10-807 prohibits any person riding a skateboard, roller skates, roller blades, a coaster, or a similar device from entering listed prohibited areas. For business and shopping-center property, the ban covers walls, steps, or railings; parking lots; driveways; and sidewalks and pedestrian ways within the shopping center, business, or nonprofit establishment, and it applies automatically to those categories. For other private property open to the public and for public property such as public schools, the ban only takes effect where the area is clearly and conspicuously posted with a sign stating 'Skating and Skateboarding Prohibited (Moore Code Section 10-807),' meaning skateboarding is not citywide-illegal but is restricted to specifically designated and marked locations.

This section sits among Moore's juvenile-related offense provisions in Chapter 10-8, alongside truancy and runaway rules, but the prohibition itself is written to apply to 'any person,' not just minors. The Moore Code does not set out a specific fine within § 10-807 itself, so a violation is punished under the city's general and specific penalties section, § 1-108, which caps fines at $500 for offenses that carry no stated penalty of their own. Moore Police and property owners rely on the posted-sign requirement to put riders on notice before a citation issues, particularly at shopping centers and school grounds where skateboarding damage to walls, railings and curbs has historically been the driver for the rule.
