(KNZA)--Hiawatha parks will be going tobacco free.

The City Commission Monday evening approved an ordinance prohibiting the use of any tobacco product—including electronic cigarettes- at city parks and playgrounds.

Signs will be posted designating the parks as tobacco-free areas.

Those violating the ordinance could face a fine.

Police Chief John Defore presented the ordinance to the Commission for their consideration.

It will take effect after publication in the local newspaper.
