SUBJECT:
AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 270 (PARKS)
RECOMMENDATION:
That a by-law be enacted to amend Chapter 270 (Parks) of the City of Kitchener Municipal
Code, with regard to housekeeping amendments outlined in Council Report No. CRPS-10-035.
BACKGROUND:
By-law Enforcement staff have reviewed Chapter 270 (Parks) and are recommending 2
housekeeping changes in order to assist with more effective enforcement in parkland areas.
REPORT:
The 2 recommended changes relate to:
1. Remove the reference to no parking in a park between the hours of 2:30 AM to 6:00
AM. This provision is no longer necessary, as parks are now closed between the
hours of 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM.
2. Adding wording to the provision that prohibits having a fire in a park, in order to
clearly identify what is prohibited.
The draft by-law is attached to this report.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None identified at this time.
COMMUNICATIONS:
No Corporate Communications required.
CONCLUSION:
The recommended housekeeping amendments to Chapter 270 (Parks) will assist staff when
enforcing the by-law provisions in parkland areas.
