SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Smoking and the use of other tobacco products, including the use of e-cigarettes, is no longer permitted at City of Sandy Springs parks.
On Tuesday night, Sandy Springs City Council approved an amendment to its Recreation and Parks smoking ordinance, prohibiting smoking and use of tobacco products by anyone using city parks.
“Our parks are public spaces. Everyone, in particular our children, should have the opportunity to enjoy these outdoor, natural areas without worry of taking in second-hand smoke,” Mayor Rusty Paul said.
The new rules take effect immediately, city officials said.
