Portable Play Equipment Guidelines

All play equipment on city property must conform to Chapter 12.04 of the Rocklin Municipal Code.

Play Equipment is Allowed

  • Front, side, or rear yards
  • Private property
  • Private driveways

May be allowed on the public roadway near the curb where vehicles normally park, when not near corners, turns, bends in the roadway, or any other location where it may not be readily visible to approaching vehicles, bicycles, or pedestrians.

Play Equipment is Not Allowed

  • On a public sidewalk
  • Overhanging or interfering with a public sidewalk
  • On or overhanging the public roadway where vehicles normally travel
  • Within a crosswalk or intersection

You may be issued a notice of violation or citation if there is a portable basketball hoop, skateboard ramp, or other portable play equipment that is blocking access to a city sidewalk or street (even if in front of your residence). If the equipment in question does not belong to you, please notify City of Rocklin Code Enforcement at (916) 625-5498.
