Sec. 631-113. - Picnics.
Picnics may be held in any public park by obtaining from the board of parks and recreation, or the custodian or superintendent of the park, a permit therefor in which will be designated the time, place and the conditions and regulations upon which the picnic may be held. It shall be unlawful for any person who is not invited or included by the sponsors thereof to intrude himself upon a picnic, without the consent of those in charge thereof, or to disturb any picnic within the park. The board shall adopt such general rules and regulations as necessary for compelling persons holding picnics or eating anything within any public park to clean up the ground and remove or dispose of all food, paper, litter and other debris before leaving the premises. Picnicking within one hundred (100) feet of the fairways, tees and greens of any golf course or within the space designated for ball diamonds, tennis courts, playgrounds, wading or swimming pools or beaches, horseshoe courts, archery ranges or casting pools, or in any other areas set aside for such uses, is prohibited. Eating by any person in parks may be limited to areas set aside therefor.
