Committee moves to clarify park safety rules and add permanent signage — helmets required for all OHVs
Summary
Members agreed the park needs clearer permanent signage and that helmets are required for all off-highway vehicles; a committee member also recommended requiring foot protection and multiple perimeter signs for safety.
Committee members discussed installing permanent park signage that includes the park name and core safety rules.
Jimmy Lewis said current signage is lacking and suggested placing a sign on Ironwood Avenue with the park name and main rules. Paul Espinoza "agreed on number one rule of helmets" and recommended mandating foot protection as well. Mario Chiancone recommended multiple signs around the park perimeter and queried whether helmet requirements varied by vehicle type; the committee reached the conclusion that helmets are required for all off-highway vehicles on the property.
The discussion focused on consistent messaging and placement of multiple signs around the perimeter to emphasize helmet use and other protective gear. No formal ordinance or enforcement mechanism was adopted at the meeting; staff were asked to use sample signs from similar facilities as templates.
