park rules

Signs with restrictions

Park rules are the posted regulations governing behavior in a public park—prohibitions on alcohol, requirements to leash dogs, restrictions on hours of access.

The phrase often appears on signs at park entrances: Please observe all park rules.

By extension, any venue's behavioral guidelines: The park rules say no outside food.
