Anoka County directly operates its regional park system and sets park hours by ordinance. Ordinance #2018-01 (last revised July 23, 2024), Chapter II, Section 1, makes it unlawful to enter or remain in a park outside regular hours, and states parks are open to the public daily from 5:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. Exceptions cover county-led programs, camping, designated after-hours facilities, or a valid permit. The Director may close any park earlier to protect property or public safety. Separately, Anoka County's juvenile curfew (Ordinance #95-2) restricts minors from public places overnight, with staggered times by age (roughly 9-10 p.m. for the youngest up to midnight for ages 15-17 on weekends).
Violating the park ordinance is a petty misdemeanor unless enhanced by state statute, punishable by a fine and/or imprisonment; fines go to the county park fund.
