Parks committee removes designated smoking area at village aquatic center
Summary
Plain City’s parks and recreation committee confirmed removal of a previously designated smoking area at the aquatic center and reinforced an existing rule that prohibits smoking on village property in parks; smokers must use enclosed vehicles or leave village property.
Plain City staff announced that the parks and recreation committee has removed a designated smoking area at the village aquatic center and reaffirmed that village parks are smoke-free under existing rules.
Miss Lofton told the council that the committee confirmed the designated smoking area should be removed because village parks and facilities are governed by rules and regulations that prohibit smoking on village property. “People can go back to their enclosed motor vehicles to smoke or leave village property,” she said.
Why it matters: the change aligns park operations with the village’s parks and recreation rules and removes a previously permitted smoking location at the aquatic center.
Ending: Staff said the change will be implemented and communicated to facility users.
