Thank you so much for keeping the kids safe!
⚠️ NOTICE: ENFORCEMENT AT TOWN PARKS & RECREATIONAL FACILITIES ⚠️
The West Warwick Police Department has received numerous complaints regarding the operation of e-bikes, e-scooters, electric motorcycles, mini-bikes, dirt bikes, and other motorized or unregisterable vehicles within our town parks and recreational facilities—particularly at Riverpoint Park and the basketball courts.
This behavior has become a significant safety concern for children, families, pedestrians, and those using these facilities as intended.
Effective immediately, enforcement will be stepped up.
Any person found operating an e-bike, e-scooter, electric motorcycle, mini-bike, dirt bike, or any other motorized or unregisterable vehicle within a town park or recreational facility will be cited under the Town Ordinance. In addition, the vehicle will be towed at the owner's expense.
The Town Ordinance is clear:
🚫 Motor vehicles of any type or kind are prohibited on recreational facilities, athletic fields, basketball courts, playgrounds, and similar areas. Motor vehicles must remain in designated parking areas.
Additionally, please remember that Town sport and recreation facilities are closed after sunset or one-half hour following the completion of a scheduled activity, unless a written permit has been issued by the Parks & Recreation Department.
These rules exist to keep our parks safe and enjoyable for everyone—not to inconvenience responsible users.
Parents, we ask that you speak with your children about these regulations before they head to our parks. A simple conversation today can prevent an expensive tow and citation tomorrow.
Thank you to everyone who helps keep West Warwick's parks safe, welcoming, and enjoyable for all.
