Corona Municipal Code Chapter 9.36 prohibits minors under age 18 from being in public places between 10:00 PM and 5:00 AM unless accompanied by a parent, guardian, or responsible adult, or engaged in specific exempt activities such as work or returning home from a school event.
Corona's juvenile curfew ordinance is enforced citywide and applies to all public places including parks, streets, sidewalks, parking lots, and businesses open to the public. The curfew runs from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, seven days a week. Exceptions include minors accompanied by a parent or guardian, those traveling directly to or from lawful employment, attending or returning from a school, religious, or government-sponsored activity, or responding to an emergency. Corona Police officers may detain minors found in violation and contact parents to retrieve them. Repeat offenders may be cited under an infraction. Parents who knowingly permit curfew violations may also be cited. The ordinance was adopted to reduce juvenile crime, vandalism, and gang activity, particularly in areas like Corona City Park, the Civic Center, and the historic downtown district. School officials and parents can request youth curfew literature from the Corona Police Department's community services unit.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Corona code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
