A sign at Governor's Park warns adults to stay away from the playground unless accompanied by a child.has posted signs at certain playground areas warning adults to stay away unless they're accompanied by a child.
"It stems from a lot of social issues on the playground we've been having for the past two years, and things our staff is seeing," he says."They're raking through the wood chips on the playgrounds, looking for needles." The signs aren't legally enforceable, however, and deciding who presents a threat is up to the rangers. Gilmore says park rangers are generally liberal about the guidelines and will only issue citations for illegal behavior. But Parks and Rec has the power to issue a temporary emergency order to enforce a sign's rules if the department feels it's necessary.
He says that Parks and Rec recognizes the role of parks to fulfill a public need. However, the signs and attention are largely centered on playgrounds, and lone adults hanging around those areas will spark concerns for rangers.
