Directional Signs and Decorations
Temporary freestanding directional signs are allowed and not to be attached to park furniture, signposts or other facilities. Decorations are allowed as long as they are free standing or not affixed in a manner that would damage a facility or any painted walls (tape, tacks and staples can cause damage to walls - the use of a no-stick adhesive is recommended).
Wildlife
Wildlife in our county parks are protected under the law and should be treated with respect and observed at an appropriate distance. Anyone found harassing an animal will be asked to leave. Special care should be taken with decorations like balloons so that they do not “escape” as this is a wildlife hazard; be sure to pick up your other small trash like straws, straw wrappers, can rings, etc., that could also pose a hazard to animals.

Only beer with an alcohol content of 5% or less by weight and wine with an alcohol content of 17% or less by weight may be consumed in county parks. You may not drink these beverages on roads or in parking areas. Hard liquor and wine with alcohol content in excess of 17% by weight or other alcoholic liquors are NOT to be consumed in county parks.
