Ocean City has joined a number of other Altlantic Coast beach communities in banning smoking at some parks and beaches. We get this report from Delmarvanow.com:
Milton and Ocean City also recently banned smoking at public parks and playgrounds. The same laws were already in effect in Bethany Beach and Lewes.
Under the adopted ordinance, smoking is banned in most of the city’s parks and playgrounds. Officials felt that Lake Gerar was too large to prohibit smoking, so the ban is only in effect at the playground on Lake Avenue at Lakeview Street.
Contrary to the original proposal of imposing incremental fines, the commissioners chose to fine violators $25 per offense.
