closed: Resolved #188574

Parks & Playgrounds:

Other: Beginning this Spring 2024 there have been motorcycles using the park as a low key motocross for at least two late teens boys. This began early April. I approached them after a couple of weeks of the noise from their intermittent use, stating that I did not think the park was an appropriate area to be riding. they countered, saying they had just that day had a conversation with a police officer, called out in response to a complaint, who told them they could ride only in the park and not on the street. these kids do run their bikes on 16th, N Hancock , and 15th steets. They have been in the park 3 to 4 days each week. I arrived home tonight about 10:05 and there were headlights and engine noise running in the park. This dos not sit well with me. I contribute time to clearing the park of invasive species so everyone can have better, larger access to the park, and an agent of the city is suggesting it is allowable to have motor vehicles mix with pedestrians freely. The noise is considerable at times in what is essentially my front yard

Motorized vehicles are now allowed to operate in Parks beyond designated parking areas without a special use permit. Exceptions are made on trails and paths for e-bikes and similar vehicles as defined in City municipal code, but this does not include off-road vehicles, dirt bikes, motorcycles, etc. This conduct is not permitted and we will mention this to BPD as well. Thank you for the report.
