Park Rules
Quick Rule Guide
- No bike, scooters, or skateboards in the Park. Bikes are required to be parked in the racks at the front gate. Roller skates are encouraged.
- No dogs in the Park. Service dogs are always welcome but must be clearly identified and on a leash.
- No smoking, or vaping allowed anywhere in the Park. If you are caught smoking you will be asked to leave immediately. Park96 is a smoke-free environment, both the building and its facilities and amenities. Smoking is permitted in the parking lot area only.
- Open fires are permitted only within the designated fire pit area which is attached to a West Cookhouse rental, subject to season and availability of the firepit.
- Can I loan my Access Fob to my friend? No! It is a breach of rules and regulations to lend a valid Park96 Access Card to another person, whether they are a Park96 member already, non-member, or non-resident. Doing so may result in the suspension of Park96 privileges for the homeowners.
Members and Access Cards
Park96 is available for the exclusive use of the residents of Parkland and their invited guests.
Each household will be issued one complimentary Park96 access fob that allows entry at the main gate to the Park.
If additional Access Fobs are requested, they may be purchased from the business office at a cost of $25.00 including GST. A MAXIMUM of 3 Access Fobs are allowed per household. Please notify the business office if you have lost your Access Fob so it can be inactivated to ensure only residents have access.
Guest Access
Park96 Members are permitted a maximum of 20 guests per household per day. If a Member’s guests exceed 20, a request must be made to the Park96 Office to approve the number of guests and be made aware of the planned activity.
Guests within Park96 must be always accompanied by a Member, and it is a breach of Rules & Regulations to share a Park96 Access Fob or give the Access Fob to a non-member. Park96 Members must remain on-site when bringing guests into the Park or its facilities; no guest is permitted to be in the Park without a resident member.
Park96 assumes no liability for accidents or negative incidents to persons using Park96 facilities and amenities. Members and guests entering Park96 do so entirely at their own risk. Park96 Members will assume full responsibility for any violation of Park96 Rules & Regulations by their guests and their actions while using any of the Park96 facilities and amenities.
General Park Usage
Only Park96 Members and their guests are permitted access to Park96. Entry to the Park is gained through the Member’s Access Fob. Use of the Park is permitted during posted operating hours (subject to season). Use of the Park building is permitted during posted operating hours unless a rental agreement is in place that permits access outside of posted hours.
Access to all outdoor recreational facilities will be available to all members and their guests during Park Operating Hours. No recreational space will be reserved for exclusive use by any Member at any time.
The Park does not allow for group activities of more than 100 people. Requests for exceptions to this Rule must be presented to the Park Office and are subject to Board approval and condition, and may be subject to a facility fee.
Parking Lot
The Park96 parking lot is for the exclusive use of Parkland Residents and their invited guests while they are accessing the Park.
A maximum speed limit of 15 km/hr is to be observed by all vehicles in the parking lot.
Abuse Policy
At no time will abuse of either staff or volunteer Board Members be tolerated. Incidents of abuse will be reviewed by a committee established by the Board of Directors for that purpose.
Consequences of abuse to either staff or Board Members will be subject to the following:
1. For the FIRST OR MINOR OFFENSES – the abusive party will be sent a letter of warning and a written apology will be requested. If this is not complied with, a 30-day suspension of park privileges will be implemented.
2. For REPEAT OR MORE SERIOUS OFFENCES – the incident will result in immediate suspension of park privileges for no less than 60 days and a written apology to the victim. The abusive party may request, in writing, an appearance before the committee to defend their position. The final decision of the committee following such an appearance will be sent to the abusive party and will stand.
