This is a family friendly activity. The same rules prevail here as do with motorized vehicles on a public street. No operation of an ATV while under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be tolerated. Refusal to submit to a requested test of blood or breath for alcohol concentration shall be grounds to revoke the operator's ATV permit and subject to baring the person from riding in the city park. In addition to any other penalty applicable, upon any conviction for a violation the municipal court may order the ATV to be impounded.
