False Arrest by Phoenix Police at South Mountain Park

But on many entrances there are NO signs posted saying that beer and liquor are not allowed.

It looks like Sec. 24-38 Spiritous liquor in parks of the Phoenix city code says that beer is not allowed in Phoenix Parks.

It says

Sec. 24-38. Spiritous liquor in parks.

A. For the purposes of this section:

1. Beer means any beverage obtained by the alcoholic fermentation, infusion or decoction of barley malt, hops, or other ingredients not drinkable, or any combination of them.
