City officials enforcing the state’s COVID-19 public health order at Brookside Park Sunday shut down a car meet and a motorcycle show and issued warnings to 73 people running and walking on the Rose Bowl loop without wearing masks, authorities said.

City officials also disbanded four soccer games underway at Victory Park.

No citations were issued during the enforcement at the two local parks, which was carried out by two teams, according to city spokeswoman Lisa Derderian.

When it comes to city and state requirements to keep social distance and wear masks in public, “This is not recommended or a suggestion, this is mandated,” Derderian said.

The only way to stop the spread of COVID-19 and prevent further restrictions is for the public to comply with social distancing requirements, she said. 

“If you don’t succeed, we don’t succeed,” Derderian said.

Officials approached 73 walkers and runners at the Rose Bowl loop who were not covering their faces, officials said. Most complied with requests to put on a mask, while four refused to comply and ran away, Derderian said.

A car meet and motorcycle show, which each garnered more than 50 people, were shut down at Brookside Park, she said.

Four competitive soccer games at Victory Park were disbanded, Derderian said.

Code compliance officers also visited numerous other city parks, where people were advised to put on masks while near other people not living in their households, officials added.
