“Grand Rapids is proposing to ban smoking and vaping in all city parks and playgrounds. If approved later this year by commissioners, the ordinance amendment would ban not just smoking and vaping, but also all types of marijuana and tobacco products from city parks and playgrounds starting Jan. 1, 2021. The city’s Indian Trails Golf Course is included in the ban. By a vote of 6 to 1, commissioners gave initial approval to move the ban forward to a public hearing on Oct. 13. Commissioner Nathaniel Moody was the sole no vote on the measure. The ordinance amendment to ban smoking in parks was introduced at the city commission’s Committee of the Whole meeting Tuesday morning, Sept. 15.”
