Anderson does not publish a separate park-hours ordinance online; posted hours are set by the Parks & Recreation Board per site. The enforceable statewide backstop is Indiana's juvenile curfew (IC 31-37-3), which bars minors from public places, including parks, during set overnight hours.
Anderson's parks are managed by the Park Board and Parks & Recreation Department, which set posted operating hours facility-by-facility rather than through a single published curfew ordinance. For minors, Indiana's statewide curfew applies in any public place, including city parks. Under IC 31-37-3-2, it is a curfew violation for a child 15 through 17 to be in a public place between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. Saturday or Sunday, after 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, or before 5 a.m. weekdays. Under IC 31-37-3-3, a child under 15 may not be in a public place after 11 p.m. or before 5 a.m. any day.
Curfew violations are handled under juvenile law; officers may take a minor into custody after a reasonable determination. Being in a closed park after posted hours can also draw a trespass warning or citation.
