Picnic areas

(a)

Park personnel shall regulate activities in picnic areas to prevent congestion and to secure the maximum use of department managed lands for all. Use of department-provided grills or other cooking areas together with adjacent tables and benches shall be on a first come, first served basis unless a facility rental application has previously been approved for the picnic area. An approved facility rental application is required when any picnic gathering exceeds twenty-four (24) persons in attendance.

(b)

No person shall picnic or cook in any department managed land not specifically designated for and regulated by the department for such activities.

(c)

No person shall build, light, or cause to be lit any fire upon the ground or other object in any department managed land except in an approved grill, stove, fireplace, or other similar container. Any person who builds, lights, or causes to be lit any fire shall extinguish the fire before leaving the immediate area.

(d)

No person shall use a grill, stove, fireplace, or other similar device in such a manner as to burn, char, mar, blemish, or otherwise damage any bench, table, or other object of department property.
