That is the problem, it is MEANT to give laywers more jobs when kids of CostaMesa/Irvine/Newport guys get tickets for stacking cups at the park. It is MEANT to give realtors a place to show homebuyers without a bunch of kids messing up the place. It is MEANT to... oh, wait, we really dont know what the writers MEANT unless we have some other information from them, intent wasnt listed in the ord.
STL, who did you get the MEANT info from... or is one of your Just Made It Up facts that you might have to recant, like in them PB threads..... and dont cite the Sanitation Dept for a soundbite like that thread you called some stray dept for info
Why make All Parks for Quiet Time not sports, when they should have made Designated Quiet Time areas rather than Designated Play areas..... Parks are for reading, not playing sports- you wanna play, go play Inside where homebuyers wont see you urchins in the park
You may want to add Houston, TX to that list of CA towns your rattled off. The very first park I found in Texas, Houston: Playing of baseball, football etc. No person shall play any game of baseball, football, golf, cricket, lacrosse, polo, hockey or other game of like character in the parks, except in places set apart and designated as grounds therefor.

Like I said that rule is everywhere. It's not meant to restrict anything, it's meant to keep a peaceful balance within the park. I know peaceful existence is a hard thing to believe in this forum. One thing I still can't get over the no molesting the wild animals in Houston, I hope that doesn't happen too often.
