The following rules and regulations apply to all Otay Ranch Five Association private park facilities. These rules and regulations have been developed to ensure that all park facilities are available to all residents of Otay Ranch Five and to facilitate the long -term maintenance of all facilities. Residents, as well as guests, must follow these rules and regulations. Provisions for these Park Rules and Regulations, and the authority for enforcement, are contained in the Declaration and Bylaws of the Otay Ranch Five Community Association.

The private neighborhood parks have been provided to serve local neighborhoods. Because of their size and location, these parks cannot accommodate large group events. In the spirit of good neighborly regulations, large (over 10 people) events are specifically prohibited. Any exception to this rule may be considered by the Board of Directors on a case-by-case basis.
