Ottawa County parks are open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. from March 1 through October 15, and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. from October 16 through February 28. County open-space lands are open 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Being present outside those hours is prohibited.
Ottawa County Parks are governed by the county's Parks Facilities Rules & Regulations (Ordinance 94-3, as amended), enforced by the Parks Department and Sheriff. Developed parks operate 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the warm season (March 1-October 15) and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the cold season (October 16-February 28). Designated open-space lands are open 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Visitors may not remain in a park after posted closing time except with a special-use permit. Individual cities and townships set separate hours for their own local parks, so a municipal park nearby may close earlier.
Remaining in a county park after hours violates Ordinance 94-3 and can result in ejection or a municipal-civil-infraction citation issued by park staff or the Sheriff.
