I think the plain language of the ordinance settles the matter. That's not to say that the Park doesn't have broad authority to protect human visitors to the park by establishing rules on an ad hoc basis; it may have such authority. But, if the Park stands on Lakewood Ord. § 6.05.050, then its sign and its policy have no legal basis. The "law is the law" meme that is trending in these threads doesn't mean anything if the facts don't support its application. I note several threads on here that seem to take offense at the notion that Joe Roller compared the willful violation of this ordinance to civil disobedience of times gone by. For heaven's sake, folks are even stating that this suggestion is offensive to those who lost everything to fight for civil rights. HE WAS JOKING; lighten up. Joe Roller, thanks for your efforts & your humor.
