§ 9.18.010. Definitions.  


Latest version.
  • "Camp" means to reside in or use a park for living accommodation purposes, as exemplified by remaining for prolonged or repetitious periods of time not associated with ordinary recreational use of a park, with camp paraphernalia; sleeping or making preparations to sleep; storing camp paraphernalia; regularly cooking or consuming meals; or living in a parked vehicle. These activities constitute camping when it reasonably appears in light of all the circumstances that the participants, in conducting these activities, are in fact using the area as a living accommodation regardless of the nature of any other activities in which they may also be engaging.

    "Camp paraphernalia" includes and means, but is not limited to, one's personal possessions (including but not limited to clothing, sleeping bags, bedrolls, blankets, sheets, luggage, backpacks, kitchen utensils, cookware, and similar materials).

    "City park" and "city playground" mean any public park grounds or playground owned by, leased by, or under the control of the city, including any parking lots, walkways, and sidewalks adjacent to public park grounds.

    "Store" means to put aside or accumulate for use when needed; to put for safekeeping; to place or leave in a location.
