It is, therefore, the intention of the Board of Trustees to exercise its authority pursuant to Article IX of the New York State Constitution and § 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law to protect and safeguard the lives and well-being of the community, especially minors, by regulating the use of skateboards, in-line skates and roller skates in certain locations.

a skateboard, in-line skates or roller skates, where permitted, shall

and play vehicles, except as to those provisions which by their nature
can have no application.
