The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended change to the current rules and approved the use of bikes on the skate park.

The Parks and Recreation Commission approved the change realizing that bikes on the skate park is difficult to enforce and that bikes do not increase the cost of maintenance as originally thought.

With Commission approval of this recommendation I will submit a request to the City Council to adopt the rule change by council resolution. There has been much discussion of this proposal over the last several months and the work of the Mayor' s Youth Council regarding this issue is to be noted. Enforcement of the existing rule to not allow bicycles has placed an unreasonable burden on Department Park Staff and Police Department officers with no change in use patterns. The most reasonable solution to this issue is to allow bicycles on the Skate Park as that has been the use of the facility in spite of the rule. All other posted rules will still apply to all users of the facility.
