スケートボード等禁止

On the way to Osaka Castle park, we passed this sign in front of the NHK and Osaka Museum of History buildings. In the front is a big open lot where people can gather and eat lunch or take pictures. But, it's also a a great place to skateboard with many obstacles and rails to grind, so they have to put up this sign to keep people from using it as a skate park.

Although, this sign cites the rules for not doing trick riding in the park, they never give the consequences to breaking the rules. Will I get arrested or just a fine? I don't know, and I'm not going to find out because I don't skateboard. But if you do! Let us know. それに、気をつけてください。

以上です。
