Section 1.003 of the Park Rules, as amended by Administrative Order No. 58-95-07 <br /> on November 9, 1995 authorizes the temporary closure of parks and/or facilities when the public <br /> need to preserve the welfare and safety of residents in the vicinity of the park(s) outweighs the <br /> public's right of access to parks and/or facilities. <br /> B. The West University Park on 14th Avenue between Hilyard and Patterson Streets <br /> has become a haven for illegal activities creating an atmosphere that is unfit and unsafe for use <br /> by residents of the area. <br /> C. The West University Neighbors Neighborhood Association, University West Small <br /> Business Association, and John Tantaglione of the West University Neighbors have requested that <br /> the park be closed while the City and residents of the area explore options for the future use of <br /> the park to serve the residents and employees of the area. <br /> Now, therefore, based on the above findings, which are hereby adopted, <br /> IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: <br /> 1. The West University Park on 14th Avenue between Hilyard and Patterson Streets <br /> is hereby closed to entry by all persons other than police officers and authorized City employees, <br /> effective 12:01a.m., November 27, 1995.
