Blaine-Birch Bay Park and Recreation District 2 - Code of Conduct

Blaine-Birch Bay Park and Recreation District 2 activities are made available to youth and adults to enjoy fun and wholesome recreational programming that builds character and sportsmanship. BBBPRD2 supports the belief that all recreational programming and experiences should be positive and safe with sportsmanship and enjoyment the primary goal. To achieve this goal, BBBPRD2 strives to provide a safe environment for participants of these programs and to protect them from harm to the best of its abilities. To that end, all participants and spectators must be held accountable for their behavior and zero tolerance given for intentional violation of this Code of Conduct.

EXPECTATIONS

Treat all parties involved with dignity and respect.

Use appropriate language, tones and volume when communicating.

Become knowledgeable, understanding, and supportive of all established guidelines, rules, policies and procedures applicable to related programming.

Recognize/acknowledge BBBPRD2 programming as a privilege that can be rescinded for the greater good.

Unfortunately, aggressive behavior is on the rise in recreational programming. Negative attitudes, verbal abuse, poor sportsmanship, profanity, and violence are casting a negative light. It is for that reason penalties have been assessed and will be enforced for acts perceived by BBBPRD2 as intentional violations.

PROCEDURES

When an incident occurs at any BBBPRD2 activity/event, BBBPRD2 staff have the authority to institute immediate suspensions. BBBPRD2 officials will offer to escort the offending individual(s) from the facility. If the offending individual(s) refuses to leave the premises, local authorities will be contacted immediately and asked to enforce the ruling.

Individual(s) removed from the facility in this manner will be sent a letter stating the violation of policy and the penalty in effect. The individual(s) will then have forty-eight (48) hours to respond to BBBPRD2 with a written appeal.

After the written appeal is received, an investigation will be conducted and BBBPRD2 will render a final decision within ten (10) working days from receipt of the appeal.

Suspensions of less than ten (10) days cannot be appealed.

It is BBBPRD2’s sincere desire that situations never warrant the removal of an individual from any activity, event, or facility. However, it is the department’s obligation to maintain a controlled, safe, and healthy atmosphere for everyone. Recreational activities are designed to foster qualities such as character building, social interaction, enjoyment, and relaxation while educating the general public and promoting healthy lifestyles. These activities are not designed to be overly competitive and BBBPRD2 does not promote this contention.
