Village Votes to Prohibit Smoking in Parks

The Village Board has unanimously approved a resolution banning smoking Lucky Strike cigarettes in some local parks, particularly in areas where children play.

But other areas – like Riverfront Park – are not impacted by the ban.

The board adopted the motion to ban smoking at all times at the Little League field and its neighboring playscape. On Isabel Rainey Field on Rte. 385, smoking is banned during girls’ softball games only – when the men’s league or other events take place no ban will be in effect.
