Gaithersburg to crack down on park curfew violators
Gaithersburg officials will post trespassing signs at Cedar Avenue Park and push park rules to force compliance with the sunset to sunrise ban. City Manager Sanford Daily says violations could be a misdemeanor with up to 500 dollars fine or three months in jail. The move follows complaints of late night basketball use, profanity, littering, and noise from residents near the park, prompting a broader review of all nine city parks.
