The St. Martin Parish Government concludes that the operation of motor vehicles, motorcycles,
all-terrain vehicles, and other recreational vehicles within the confines of public
parks and recreational facilities owned, operated, and/or maintained by the St. Martin
Parish Government presents numerous safety and health hazards. Moreover, the operation
of such vehicles causes unnecessary and often severe damage to public property. Likewise,
those vehicles disturb, interfere with, and impede the orderly use and enjoyment of
such public facilities. Moreover, the St. Martin Parish Government has concluded that
it is in the best interests of the citizens of this parish that the times of use of
all public parks and recreational facilities owned, operated, and/or maintained by
the St. Martin Parish Government be restricted. It has been determined that the unrestricted
use of the such public parks and recreational facilities encourages their abuse and
creates an unreasonable disturbance for neighboring properties. Therefore, the St.
Martin Parish Government does hereby impose the following regulations.
