DEEP has previously imposed temporary alcohol bans at the following locations this summer:
In recent summers, these areas have experienced increased crowds and alcohol consumption, which led to increased incidents of misconduct, unruly behavior, property damage, trespass, and complaints by other visitors and the surrounding communities.
Temporary alcohol bans have proven to be an effective tool to reduce illegal activity, improve safety, and provide a better park experience for all visitors. Twitter: @CTDEEPNewsFacebook: DEEP on Facebook
