There has been some confusion related to Title 10 Chapter 5 Ordinance Section 10-513-
22- OPEN SEASON AND HOURS GENERALLY. The current language as interpreted
indicates that many parks are closed outside of the regular park season which is the
first Saturday in May through the fourth Sunday in October. While amenities such as
restrooms and drinking fountains are not available from November through April, our
parks are very much open and useable and we encourage the community to visit
them.
The recommended Ordinance changes were recommended unanimously by the Parks
and Recreation Commission at their June 10, 2025, meeting.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

INTRODUCTION
This memo is to recommend an Ordinance Amendment for City of Dubuque Code of
Ordinances Title 10 Public Ways and Property, Chapter 5 Parks and Recreation.
BACKGROUND
There has been some confusion related to Title 10 Chapter 5 Ordinance Section 10-513-
22: OPEN SEASON AND HOURS GENERALLY. The current language as interpreted
indicates that many parks are closed outside of the regular park season which is the
first Saturday in May through the fourth Sunday in October. While amenities such as
restrooms and drinking fountains are not available from November through April, our
parks are very much open and useable and we encourage the community to visit them.
DISCUSSION
Marie Ware, acting Project and Facilities Manager, Crenna Brumwell, City Attorney and
myself discussed changes to the Ordinance Section 10-5-B-22 to reflect that parks are
actually open outside of the park season.
While reviewing the entire Title 10 Chapter 5 Ordinance some minor changes were also
made to Section 10-513-13: CLIMBING ON FENCES, ROOFS; Removed: Climbing
over ledges in ledge gardens by any person is prohibited; and Section 10-5C-1:
SPECIFIC PARK AREAS, OPEN SPACES, AND TRAILS DESCRIBED; Added Legal
Description for English Ridge Park, Rustic Point Park and updated legal description for
E.B Lyons Prairie/Woodland Preserve.
