Summary

In the Town of Stedman, North Carolina, Section 69.04(D) makes it unlawful to operate or ride a skateboard, toy vehicle, coaster scooter, inline skates, rollerblades or a similar device anywhere within town parks and recreation areas, including the parking areas serving them.

(D) Skateboards, Inline Skates & Similar Toy Vehicles It shall be unlawful for any person to operate or ride a skateboard, toy vehicle, coaster scooter, inline ... skates, rollerblades, or similar device within all parks and recreation areas, including parking areas.

Full Breakdown

04(D) sits inside Stedman's Chapter 69 parks ordinance, the same chapter that regulates alcohol, fires, and vehicles on town recreation property. The ban names skateboards, toy vehicles, coaster scooters, inline skates and rollerblades specifically, then closes the list with 'similar device' so wheeled recreational toys of that type are covered even if not individually named. The prohibition covers all parks and recreation areas, including parking areas, so a rider cannot sidestep the rule by staying on the pavement outside the playground or picnic shelters at Stedman Ernest Freeman Park.

02, so the skateboard ban applies during those posted hours unless the Board of Commissioners grants special permission for an event. 05: a Stedman Police Department officer or an authorized town employee can eject a rider from the park and deny future use of park facilities. S. 05(C)'s separate $500 civil penalty. 04(D) restricts skateboarding on Stedman's public sidewalks or in its commercial districts; the ordinance's reach stops at town park and recreation property.

Violations & Fines

Skateboarding, riding a coaster scooter, or using inline skates or rollerblades in a Stedman park or its parking areas violates Section 69.04(D) and is enforced the same as any other Chapter 69 park violation: ejection and loss of park privileges under Section 69.05(A), a misdemeanor under G.S. 14-4 with up to $1,000 in fines and thirty days in jail under Section 69.05(B), and a separate $500 civil penalty under Section 69.05(C).
