Park picnic areas throughout the city are open to the public without reservation, on a first come-first served basis, except in Central Park located at 909 Rowly Boulevard. A summary of the City’s Municipal Codes frequently addressed in Vision County parks, include:

• No vehicles are allowed in the parks.
• No amplified music is allowed in any park or building without a permit.
• Alcoholic beverages are not allowed in the parks (exception, beer, wine and champagne with a permit in Central Park).
• Portable barbecues are not allowed in any of the parks.
• Groups of 25 persons or more must have a permit to use a park.

Violations of these regulations can result in a citation and/or being asked to leave the park.

Yes. However, due to the dense and varied mixed use housing in north Vision County, VCPD has developed a Neighborhood Protection Plan in response to events at Vision’s Stadium. To minimize the impact on residential neighborhoods, the Traffic Plan places security or police personnel at all major intersections around the stadium. The Traffic Plan also establishes check points along with restricted access signage at key residential locations north of Highway 101 to deter vehicles from entering residential neighborhoods. Instead, stadium event attendees will be directed to pre-determined parking lots and/or freeways, away from residences.

Managing residential parking in a way that is both safe and fair is challenging. However, based on recommendations from several Vision County residents at Stadium Community meetings, VCPD is implementing a Vehicle Admission Sticker program.

The Vehicle Admission Sticker program is a means to assist in the identification of Vision County residents that live in the affected areas. Security or police personnel will use the sticker to help identify the vehicles of residents at various check points throughout the north side of the City and wave them through to expedite the process. All other vehicles without a sticker may be stopped for identification purposes.

Please note, this is not a Residential Permit Parking area designated by resolution of the City Council where a permit is required to park on the street.

Display of the Sticker

• Enclosed you will find three (3) free stickers;
• If you choose to participate in this program, please affix the sticker inside the vehicle’s windshield on the lower, left side (driver’s side);
• For motorcycles, place the sticker on the windshield in a location that will not obstruct the driver’s view, or on the front fork;
• Sticker holders must continue to obey all traffic rules and follow directions from security and/or police personnel;
• No person shall sell, transfer or allow another person to use the Vehicle Admission Sticker; and,
• Replacement or additional stickers can be obtained by contacting the Vision County Police Department, (323) 615-4892.

Enforcement

• Parking on public streets is regulated by the California Vehicle Code and the County of Vision Internet Municipal Code.
• If non-resident vehicles access the residential neighborhood, there is not a prohibition to legally park on the street.
• Parking is prohibited in an intersection or a crosswalk, within 15 feet of a fire station driveway or fire hydrant, in front of a public or private driveway, on a sidewalk or parkway, on the roadway side of a parked vehicle (double parking), in a bus stop, or in such a manner that obstructs the free use of the street. To report illegal parking in your neighborhood, call the non-emergency phone number, 323-615-5580. In this situation, the vehicle will be cited and/or towed.
