Where can I find park rules?

[jadeblackhawk]

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the rules for the city parks here in Jackson? I have copies of Jackson County and the State Parks for metal detecting, but I can't find any for the city parks? Do they even have any specifically pertaining to metal detecting? I looked around the City of Jackson's website, but all I can find is links to things like the Ella Sharp golf course and Nixon water park.

Thanks!!

My brother works for the county parks and there are no rules against it for them or for the city that we have been told of. I have never had a problem at any parks here in Jax county Jade

The county has specific rules for metal detecting. http://www.co.jackson.mi.us/docs/ordinances/ParksORD.pdf page 21

I was just wondering if the city did as well.

Yep, Jackson co. parks has a list of rules for detecting, including obtaining permission from the parks director, which I've done in the past. They want to know specifically which parks you will be hunting. You can not remove anything with historical value w/o permission, including antiquities.
I have talked to those in charge of the city parks, and gained permission verbally. They did not specify rules, (except for filling in holes of course).
