[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Islip 3-31-64.
Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Added 4-1-86, effective 4-20-86[1]]
As used in this ordinance, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
A person "enters or remains unlawfully" in a park when he is not
licensed or privileged to do so. A person who, regardless of his intent, enters
or remains in a park which is at the time open to the public does so with
license and privilege unless he defies a lawful order not to enter or remain,
personally communicated to him by an agent of the Town of Islip. A license
or privilege to enter or remain in a park which is only partly open to the
public is not a license or privilege to enter or remain in that part of the
park which is not open to the public. A person who enters or remains upon
unimproved and apparently unused land, which is neither fenced nor otherwise
enclosed in a manner designed to exclude intruders, does so with license and
privilege unless notice against trespass is personally communicated to him
by the owner of such land or other authorized person, or unless such notice
is given by posting in a conspicuous manner.
All real property and municipal facilities owned by the Town of Islip,
including any area designated by the Town of Islip as a marina.
The Town of Islip.
