The Police Department shall enforce the regulations
hereinabove set forth and shall exercise general supervision over
persons and property in all parks.
The Springfield Park and Recreation Board shall
have general custody of all parks, subject to such conditions of jurisdiction
herebefore or hereafter imposed by resolution or ordinance, and all
maintenance, repairs and replacements of property and equipment therein,
and shall be chargeable with the duty of keeping the parks in a clean
and sanitary condition at all times. In view of the fact that the
parks and playgrounds of the Township have been acquired and are maintained
primarily for the use of the residents of the Township, the Springfield
Park and Recreation Board, or any person or persons designated by
it, shall have the right to exclude therefrom any person who is not
a resident of the Township.
Special permits for the use of parks shall be
issued by the Township Secretary upon application therefor. No charge
shall be made for such permits. No permit shall be issued, however,
unless an application therefor is made to the Township Secretary in
writing at least 24 hours before the applicant intends to use the
same. Any person to whom a permit is issued shall be liable for any
loss, damage or injury sustained by any person by reason of negligence
or fault of the applicant, his servants, agents or employees.
Any person violating any of the provisions of
this ordinance shall be liable to a penalty of not more than $100
for each and every offense, to be collectible before any Justice of
the Peace of the Township, as like penalties are now by law collectible.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent
herewith are hereby repealed.
