Background /Discussion
During discussion of Bailey Point Nature Preserve priorities at last month's meeting, it was
recommended that the park hours for Bailey Point be a discussion item for September. The Bailey Point
Park Steward, Eric Toth, also requested a commission discussion as some of the park's neighbors have
requested that Bailey Point be closed at sundown. The current city ordinance on park closing hours is as
follows:

p.m. or before 6:00 a.m. Any person involved in a city sponsored /sanctioned program or activity

(b) Individuals shall be allowed to enter or remain upon the grounds of Hillside City Park and
Woodland Trails Park within the city until 12:00 a.m. under the following circumstances:

(2) All persons in the park after 10:00 p.m. must display their permit as required through
the permitting process.
