There is someone sleeping on the gravel lot next to City Hall. Why is the City allowing that?

If a community does not have any shelters for someone experiencing homelessness, then state law requires that we provide a place where they are allowed to sleep.  All of the parks close at sunset, therefore, the only legal place for someone to sleep in Harrisburg overnight, is in the spot that the City Administrator/City Council will allow.  At this time, that is the corner of the gravel lot, at Moore St. & 1st St.  Someone sleeping in this area will have access to the restrooms at the boat landing, which are open 24/7.  

Are people allowed to camp in Harrisburg Parks?

No, the City doesn't have campgrounds, and people aren't allowed in the parks overnight.  If you are in any Harrisburg parks after sunset, you could be cited by law enforcement.  Both LCSO and Coburg Police regularly patrol all parks in Harrisburg.  

I saw somebody sleeping in the gazebo the other day. Are they allowed to do that?

The laws in the State of Oregon says that during the day, you must allow people without shelter to sleep, and they have the right to stay warm and dry.  If somebody has rented the gazebo, then we can ask them to leave; otherwise, just like any other person visiting the park, they have the right to also use the gazebo.
