OC, parks, preemption, signage

City of Littleton has codified the CRS rule about passing an ordinance prohibiting OC in a specific area and stated:

6-4-160 (A)
The open carrying of firearms in or upon public facilities including, but not limited to: buildings, sites, areas, including municipally owned, operated, or leased buildings or properties; recreation facilities; and public parks, trails, or open space is unlawful when said facilities are posted with notification that the carrying of firearms is prohibited.

My question then is: what are the signage requirements? The state law says that signs must be posted at all entrances, so if there's an open park with no defined entrances, but a randomly placed sign with a litany of rules, would I be okay to OC? I haven't spotted any "no firearms" signs yet, but will be keeping my eyes open going forward.

Thanks

I don't know about Littleton, but Northglenn has an ordinance that is adhered to with this:

And, here's a pic of the signage required by said ordinance at their E. B. Raines park:

Yeah, so I guess I will just have to cover it up.

Out of sight, out of the hoplophobes' minds. (If they have any.) Seriously does anyone stop to think that concealed weapons *ought* to be scarier?
