ON Communities of Excellence successfully pushes smoking ban in Pawhuska parks

The Splash Pad and Skatepark will be included in the smoke-free zone

By August’s end, the Pawhuska Skatepark and Splash Pad will be smoke-free thanks to a new smoking ordinance passed by the City Council Monday Aug. 1.

The smoking ban ordinance, which passed by a unanimous vote, targets most city parks, including Ben Johnson Park where the Skatepark and Splash Pad are located. Gail Boe, director of the Osage Nation’s Communities of Excellence program, proposed the smoking ban after her office started receiving complaints about smoking in the park near the two amenities.
