Council tables proposal from White to change park hours to dawn-to-dusk pending park-board review
Summary
Councilman Greg White moved to change city-park hours to dawn-to-dusk; after discussion about runners, special events and online listing inconsistencies, council voted to table the proposal and asked staff to consult the park board.
Councilman Greg White introduced a motion to change the posted hours of Greenville’s city parks to dawn-to-dusk for regular operation, citing uniformity with other jurisdictions and concerns about after-dark activity.
Council members discussed runner access and early-morning users, special-event exceptions, online listings that currently display varying times for different parks, and whether the park board has jurisdiction over hours. Staff and council agreed to check signage and online listings and to consult the park board before taking action. The motion was tabled for follow-up and to be returned under old business at a later meeting.
What happens next: Staff will consult the parks board about authority over park hours, reconcile posted and online hours, and return a recommendation to council at a future meeting.
Ending: The council tabled the motion pending park-board consultation and asked staff to bring a follow-up report back to a future meeting.
