[OMS_MANAGERS] Alcohol allowed for events in City Parks?

[Oscar Hult]

Albany allows it with a permit. The permit is free, but you have to get it prior to the event. Otherwise alcohol; is not allowed. Without that the Police have no way of dealing with the large groups of homeless that used to take over the parks and get drunk scaring off other people who just wanted to have a quiet picnic.
Note: At the summer concerts in the park downtown, alcohol is allowed after 5pm.

Hope this helps.

Thanks very much!
We took it to City Council and they're wanting a survey done to see if other communities allow alcohol in their parks (or perhaps public areas.  They do allow it now, in the community center)

Thanks for the info!

Hello Kelly     We have a wine walk twice a year in our downtown area. Interested merchants participate . Some call local vineyards to pour, others self-pour. Wine tasting must be done at the merchants location , no carrying wine in a glass between locations.                The Lions Club also held a Christmas Party and served a full dinner at the Community Center. The Club wanted to serve wine. Normally no alcohol is served at the Center but they went to the monthly scheduled city hall meeting and made a formal request for permission to serve wine  for only that event. It was granted. ( You may have to contact the City earlier to get put on the agenda. )    Sony Murray, Myrtle Creek , OR
