Information

Agenda Item

Consider and take appropriate action regarding park rules for the Quarry Splash Pad in the Southwest Regional Park

Background

With the opening of the Quarry Splash Pad it is necessary to establish a set of rules. The attachment shows the suggested rule sign. Most items are informational but there is a list of suggested prohibited items. They are:
Prohibited items: Glass, Pets, Climbing on rocks, Skateboards, Bicycles, Alcohol, Tobacco use, and Running.

Glass breakage with so many little feet is always a concern. Pets are prohibited by state law on PIWF’s (Public Interactive Water Features & Fountains Texas Administrative Code 265.301-265.308) except for service animals because of sanitation reasons. With the area being primarily dedicated to children Alcohol and Tobacco products are asked to be prohibited within the splash pad area including birthday pavilions. Climbing on rocks and running will be items that will be in need of constant reminders but are for safety reasons. Skateboards and bicycles are suggested for prohibition to prevent damage to the facility.
