Informational Report on Policies Regarding Alcohol in Madison Parks (Citywide)

 

Body

The City of Madison regulates the consumption of alcohol in parks through its General Ordinance 8.24. Consumption of alcohol is allowed in most parks, while some parks are considered “alcohol free” and require an alcohol permit with an advanced shelter or athletic reservation. This presentation will review the current regulations on alcohol in Madison Parks, enforcement of these regulations, and policies in other jurisdictions.
