Light a cigarette in one of Coal City’s public parks and you just might end up paying a fine.
Stating it is in the best interest of the community, the Coal City Village Board adopted an ordinance that prohibits smoking in village owned parks, as well as indoor and outdoor recreation facilities.
Town officials say banning smoking of tobacco in municipal parks will protect the health of its residents, reduce litter, protect the environment, and enhance the experience of park patrons, participants and spectators.
