Metal Detecting in City Parks

The McMinnville Parks and Recreation Department acknowledges the value of responsible metal detecting as a recreational pursuit for individuals and families. To support these endeavors while ensuring the protection of park resources, the City of McMinnville will establish a trial period of April 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013 during which, McMinnville's current prohibition will be suspended and metal detection will be allowed and evaluated as a sustainable recreation activity. The use of metal detectors will be allowed within the McMinnville Parks System during this 21 month trial period, subject to the following permit requirements, guidelines, and restrictions.
