These uses of the city's parks are recognized as privileges, immunities, rights, and liberties belonging to all citizens, regardless of sex, race, religion, color, national origin, or political or philosophical persuasion. It is also recognized that the right to use the parks is not absolute, but relative, and must be exercised in subordination to the general comfort and convenience and in consonance with peace and good order.
