PATROLS & ENFORCEMENT AT CITY SKATE PARK
Posted April 29, 2011 - The Port Angeles Police Department will increase patrol emphasis in the City Skate Park in response to citizen and staff complaints regarding bicycles operating inside the Skate Park.

Per Port the Angeles Municipal Code, it is unlawful for persons to operate a bicycle inside the City Skate Park.   Sitting on a bicycle inside the Skate Park is construed as operation .   Bicycle use damages the park and can create safety issues for the skate board users .

Persons engaged in willful violations can, as a minimum, expect to be:

•  Issued a 90 Day trespass notice.   This means the person will be considered a trespasser if found inside the Skate Park for the next 90 days.   Police officers can arrest and book into jail persons who trespass after getting a trespass notice.

•  Cited into court for a misdemeanor.  A first violation carries a potential fine of $500 and up to 30 days in jail. Penalties increase with multiple offenses and a third offense is charged as a gross misdemeanor with potential fines and jail time of $5,000 and six months, respectively .

Police Officers have the option of clearing and closing the park at any time as a response to continued violations.    Officers will also confiscate any unattended bicycles left inside the Skate Park.   Officers have been and will continue to use the cameras at the Skate Park to identify repeat violators.

Citizens observing violations are encouraged to call the Port Angeles Police Department at 452-4545. Both the Police and Parks & Recreation ask for the community's help in keeping our City parks safe and clean for everyone to use and enjoy.

UPDATE - CITY SEEKS SPONSORS FOR PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES & PROGRAMS

In April 2009, City Council approved a new Parks and Recreation Facility/Program Sponsorship Policy as a way to provide for greater community participation and involvement, along with a source to obtain outside funding to maintain City recreation programs and facilities.

The policy allows the City to partner with private businesses, individuals and community organizations as a way to support recreation facilities and programs. As part of the 2009 Budget process, City Council decreased the amount of funding available for maintenance of the smaller neighborhood parks.

Over the last month, eight City parks have been sponsored by these four organizations:

•  Carroll Realty: “A” Street lookout, “C” Street lookout, and Milwaukee Heights Tot-Lot.

•  ReMax Realty Team: Georgiana Park, located at Chambers & Georgiana Streets

•  Port Angeles Disc Golf Association: James View Point located at West 2 nd and Laurel Street

•  Lincoln High School Faculty, Staff and Students: Wolverton Park located at West 11 th off “A” Street

•  Olympic Peninsula Paddlers: Sail & Paddle Park and Harborview Park, both located on Ediz Hook

Other organizations have shown interest in sponsoring Hazel Porter Kiel Park located on the 100 block of West 13 th Street, and Rains Park located in the 900 block of East 8 th Street. Parks still in need of sponsorship are: Charles R. Willson Park located at 511 West 7 th , the 5 th & Oak Street Park, and Crown Park located in the 2000 block of West 4th Street.

The policy allows the City to partner with private businesses, individuals and community organizations as a way to support recreation facilities and programs. As part of the 2009 Budget process, City Council decreased the amount of funding available for maintenance of the smaller neighborhood parks.

Sponsors must comply with guidelines and procedures of the policy and support the mission and policies of the City of Port Angeles.
