MEMORANDUM
Department of Public Services
DATE:
May 25, 2016
TO:
Parks and Recreation Board Members
FROM:
Carrie A. Laird, Parks and Recreation Manager
SUBJECT:
Amendment to Park Rules and Regulations
Springdale Park hours are determined by the activity at Springdale Golf Course due to the
shared security gate and parking area. The park opens for the season when the golf course
opens and remains closed throughout the winter months. Additionally, once open for the
season, it may on occasion, need to be closed at differing times based upon weather conditions
or daylight hours. This happens most often in the beginning of golf season, however may
happen on occasion throughout the summer months and is left to the discretion of the City
employee on duty. It is important to close the park at the same time as the golf course for the
safety of patrons and the security of the golf course clubhouse and maintenance yard area.
The park does remain open for any scheduled park shelter rental, no matter the golf course
activity. It has come to our attention that Springdale Park hours are inconsistent with our Park
Rules and Regulations, approved in 2012, attached for your reference.
Below is our current park rule #10 that states the following:
The following city-owned or city-controlled areas shall be closed during the hours
specified below. During such hours, no person shall enter into or remain in such
property, except those persons whose presence is related to or in connection with a
municipal activity or a project or activity which has been licensed to be operated or
carried on within such public property, or persons who enter such property for the
express purpose of parking or removing a vehicle legally parked upon such property and
who, upon entering the parking area, immediately park or remove such vehicle. Such
person shall not remain in the park for any other purpose.
(1) Manor Park shall be closed from one hour after sundown to one hour before
sunrise.
(2) Adams School Park shall be closed from 9:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.
(3) Except as provided in subsections (1) and (2) of this section, all City Parks
shall be closed between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
(4) All public property not included in subsection (1), (2), (3) of this section shall
be closed between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m. For purposes of
this section, public property shall be deemed to be property zoned as public
property under the provisions of chapter 126.
Agenda Item #1
The department would like to insert a new (3): Springdale Park hours coincide with Springdale
Golf Course hours and the closing of the park is up to the discretion of the City of Birmingham
Representative on duty. The current (3) shall become (4) and the current (4) shall become (5).
The new number (4) shall read: Except as provided in subsections (1), (2), and (3) of this
section, all City Parks shall be closed between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The new
number (5) shall read: All public property not included in subsections (1), (2), (3), and (4) of
this section shall be closed between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m. Additionally,
after reviewing Rule #10 in its entirety, administration recommends also that “School” is
removed after Adams for item (2).
The new park rule #10 shall read:
The following city-owned or city-controlled areas shall be closed during the hours
specified below. During such hours, no person shall enter into or remain in such
property, except those persons whose presence is related to or in connection with a
municipal activity or a project or activity which has been licensed to be operated or
carried on within such public property, or persons who enter such property for the
express purpose of parking or removing a vehicle legally parked upon such property and
who, upon entering the parking area, immediately park or remove such vehicle. Such
person shall not remain in the park for any other purpose.
(1) Manor Park shall be closed from one hour after sundown to one hour before
sunrise.
(2) Adams Park shall be closed from 9:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.
(3) Springdale Park hours coincide with Springdale Golf Course and the closing of
the park is up to the discretion of the City of Birmingham Representative on
duty.
(4) Except as provided in subsections (1), (2), and (3) of this section, all City
Parks shall be closed between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
(5) All public property not included in subsections (1), (2), (3), and (4) of this
section shall be closed between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 6:00 a.m. For
purposes of this section, public property shall be deemed to be property zoned
as public property under the provisions of chapter 126.
The Department of Public Services, upon approval, will add the modified language on to the
City of Birmingham Park Sign that is located at Springdale Park.
