Anyone using the parks or parkland shall observe all
posted parking restrictions. Any
activity which generates parking in excess of the provided parking areas at the site
must make alternate parking/busing/carpooling arrangements. Due to
parking limitations at McCahill Park, use of that park shall at all times be
limited to a maximum of two activities at any one time. The Borough also
reserves the right to preclude the simultaneous use of McCahill Park by
specific organizations when it is felt that such dual use might create
parking or other problems. Groups having a valid use permit shall have
priority over any group not having a permit.

Permits to reserve one or both of the fields at
McCahill Park will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis beginning
January I of each year. (Only one baseball field per league may be reserved
with each permit. No permits will be issued to scheduled leagues for use of
McCahill Park after 3 PM on Saturdays or anytime on Sundays.)
Applications must be made on forms provided by the Borough. The issuance of
any such permit is conditioned upon strict adherence to these Rules and
Regulations and any violation hereof shall be cause for revoking the permit.
The Borough also reserves the right to refuse to issue a permit or to revoke
a permit without cause.
-
Any person, partnership or corporation violating any
provision of these Rules and Regulations shall, upon conviction thereof, be
sentenced to pay a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). Each violation of
any provision of these Rules and Regulations shall be deemed a separate offense. (Ordinance No. 309, as
amended.)
