Blaine, MN Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

City Code Sec. 54-52, in Chapter 54's Article III on conduct in public parks, bars any person from being in or remaining in a public park in the city between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. of the following day. The only people exempted from the nightly closure are authorized personnel and persons participating in events conducted under a special events license issued by the city, so a resident walking through Aquatore Park or the Blaine Baseball Complex after 10:00 p.m. without one of those exemptions is in violation.

Enforcement runs through Sec. 54-59, which lets Blaine Police and Parks and Recreation Department employees eject violators from a park or beach and expel a person for 24 hours or longer, or up to six months in serious cases, for intentionally disrupting a park's orderly operation. The city manager or a designee can also declare any park facility or portion of it closed at any time when reasonably necessary for public health, safety or welfare under Sec. 54-59(c). The parks curfew supplements other conduct rules in the same article, including a ban on alcohol in parks (Sec.

54-54) and a general-conduct prohibition on disorderly behavior, fighting and harassment (Sec. 54-58). Because Chapter 54 does not set a distinct penalty for Sec. 54-52, a violation is punished under the Chapter 1 general penalty, Sec. 1-7.
