Tricks and stunts

Skateboarding and use of other rolling or wheeled devices on sidewalks and in parking lots is often incompatible with pedestrian and vehicle traffic thereby resulting in safety hazards. Additionally, performance of "tricks or stunts" with skateboards and similar devices has caused substantial damage to concrete and other improvements on both public and private property. The purposes of this chapter are: (a) to reduce the risk of personal injury to skateboarders and to the public in general; and (b) to provide owners of private and public property with the means to protect their improvements from damage. (Ord. 328 § 2 (part), 2000)

For purpose of this chapter the following definitions shall apply: Public or private property means areas of property, whether in public or private ownership, which are ordinarily open to and used by the general public. Such areas include but are not limited to pedestrian walkways, business establishments, office complexes, shopping center common areas, parks, churches, school grounds, and other public facilities. Rolling or wheeled devices means skateboards, roller skates, roller-blades, in-line skates, bicycles and similar devices but do not include vehicles licensed under the California Vehicle Code or wheelchairs for the disabled. Tricks and stunts means singular or repetitive jumps flips, grinds or any other trick performed for demonstration, practice or display of skill on a skateboard or other rolling or wheeled device. (Ord. 328 § 2 (part), 2000)

A. No person shall ride or use a skateboard or other rolling or wheeled device on private or public property which is properly posted pursuant to Section B7-283 to prohibit such use. Pushing or carrying the skateboard or other device on the posted property does not violate this section. B. No person shall perform "tricks or stunts" with a skateboard or other rolling or wheeled devices on public or private property which is properly posted pursuant to Section B7-283 to prohibit "tricks and stunts." C. No person shall leave a skateboard or other rolling or wheeled device in any place where others may trip over or be injured by it. Bicycles shall be left in a bicycle rack whenever one is provided and there is space available. (Ord. 328 § 2 (part), 2000)

Violators may be cited. San Ramon Municipal Code Section B7-283." (Ord. 328 § 2 (part), 2000)

Any violation of this Chapter is punishable as an infraction. Posting by the owner of private property as provided for under Section B7-283 shall constitute the request and consent of the owner of such property for enforcement of this chapter by the San Ramon police department on such private property. Nothing in this Chapter is intended to limit other remedies at law available to owners of public or private property for damages caused by unauthorized use of skateboards or other rolling or wheeled devices on such property.
