meanings indicated:
SKATEBOARD
A platform or board with roller skate wheels or other similar
wheels affixed to the underside, designed to be ridden by a person
or persons, which has no steering device or mechanism to steer or

or weight of the rider during such use.

No person shall use, operate or ride upon any skateboard on
any sidewalks, promenades, malls and ways or in public parks, public
