2. CAMPING

All persons wishing to camp in the park shall apply to the Secretary or a Park Warden or Ranger or to an authorised person for assignment of camping sites, and shall pay such fees or charges as may from time to time be fixed by the Board, and shall not change camp sites without permission from the Secretary or a Park Warden or Ranger or other authorised person as aforesaid.

The following conditions shall be strictly observed in connection with camp sites:

(a) Subject generally to the provisions of bylaw No. 4 relating to fires, combustible rubbish must be burned on camp fires, and all other garbage and refuse of all kinds, including broken glass, bottles, tin cans, etc., must be placed in garbage cans, if available, or otherwise must be buried not less than 1 ft deep by the campers in a place hidden from sight.

(b) No person, whether camping in the park or otherwise being therein, shall pollute in any manner the waters of the park, nor bathe in any of the streams near the regularly travelled thoroughfares in the park without suitable bathing clothes.

(c) No person shall take any wood for fuel except from dead trees or from trees which have been cut for that purpose by the Board’s employees.

(d) No person shall remove, disturb, cut names, letters, words, figures, or devices on, or deface any building, gates, bridges, natural features, or trees, or any object natural or otherwise, within the limits of the park.

(e) No person shall in any building in the park act or use the same otherwise than in a cleanly and decent manner.

3. HUTS

Any person desiring the use of any huts or other buildings the property of the Board and erected in the park shall apply to the Secretary or a Park Warden or Ranger or to an authorised person who may in his discretion grant to such applicant usage of the hut or building as he shall deem advisable, either exclusively or together with any other person or persons.

The restrictions on and conditions of usage of any such huts or buildings shall be as fixed by the Board by resolution from time to time.

A Park Warden or Ranger or other officer of the Board is empowered to terminate any usage of any such hut or building where the user has departed from the terms and conditions upon which usage was granted or where the user acts in such a manner as in the opinion of the Park Warden or Ranger or other officer of the Board is likely to cause damage to the Board’s property or to give offence to other persons, or to cause them annoyance.

No person shall use, or attempt to use, any such hut or building without the permission of the Secretary or a Park Warden or Ranger or of an authorised person.

Should any organisation be empowered to erect any buildings for accommodation of its members within the park it shall be subject to the condition that if such accommodation is not in the opinion of the Board being made reasonable use of by such members, then other persons may be authorised by the Board to make use of such accommodation under whatever conditions the Board may determine.

4. FIRES

No person shall light any fire, except at camping sites or picnic places, without the express permission of the Secretary or a Park Warden or Ranger or of an authorised person.

No person shall kindle a fire near trees or dead wood, moss, dry leaves, grass, tussock, forest mould, or other vegetation, but a fire may be lit in a specially prepared open place on rocks or earth. Should camps or picnic places be located in a locality where no such open place exists, or is provided, any dead wood, moss, dry leaves, grass, tussock, forest mould, or other vegetation must be scraped down to the rock or earth over an area considerably larger than that required for the fire. Fires shall be lighted only when necessary, and when no longer needed shall be completely extinguished by covering all embers and the bed with earth and water so that there remains no possibility of the fire reviving.

No person shall light a fire in any position where it is likely to present a fire hazard.

Once a fire is lighted the person lighting the fire, or such other person as is detailed by him, shall remain in attendance on the fire until it is completely extinguished.

No match (lighted or not lighted), cigarette, or other lighted matter shall be dropped, thrown, or otherwise placed in any grass or other inflammable material.

6. MISBEHAVIOUR

Within the park no person shall wilfully obstruct, disturb, or interfere with any other person in the use or enjoyment of the park, or use foul, abusive, indecent, or obscene language, or be intoxicated, noisy, or riotous, or in any way misbehave.
