I did some checking on a website, I believe this is the actual law the Cleveland Metro-Parks to show how a law can interpreted in various ways....
549.02 THROWING OR SHOOTING MISSILES.
(a) No person shall throw, shoot or propel an arrow, missile, pellet, stone, metal or other similar substance capable of causing physical harm to persons or property, in or on any public place, in or on the property of another, or from any private property into or onto any public place or the property of another. This section does not apply to authorized ranges or instruction nor when otherwise lawfully authorized.
(b) Whoever violates this section shall be fined not more than one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) for the first offense and not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each subsequent offense. (ORC 1545.99)
In my opinion, you could be ticketed for skipping stones under this ordinance.
