[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Cobleskill 8-20-1979 as L.L. No. 1-1979. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
A.
It is the intent of the Village of Cobleskill as an
exercise of its police power to promote the general health, safety
and welfare of the village by enacting this chapter since it is the
finding of the Board of Trustees that the uncontrolled and unregulated
use of the parks and recreational facilities of the village results
in the creation of nuisances and other problems affecting the residents
of the village adversely.
B.
This chapter is intended to provide for the regulation
of parks, playgrounds, pools and other recreational facilities within
the village.
This chapter shall be known as the "Park Regulations."
For the purpose of this chapter, the following
shall have the meanings ascribed to them. All other words shall have
the meaning normally ascribed to them in regular usage.
Any motor vehicle as that term is defined in the Vehicle
and Traffic Law of the State of New York, whether licensed or not,
and shall include any snowmobile, moped, dirt bike or trail bike but
shall not include a bicycle.[1]
Any park, playground, pool or other recreational facility
within the village under the jurisdiction of the Village Board of
Trustees.
