Blaine city parks are open to the public from 5 AM to 10 PM. Separately, Blaine enforces a youth curfew (adopting Anoka County times) under City Code Chapter 50, Section 50-286, with curfew hours that vary by age and night of the week and run until 5 AM.
Blaine has two distinct overnight rules that affect being out at night. First, park hours: City parks are open to the public from 5 AM to 10 PM, so being in a park outside those hours is not permitted (the beach, boathouse, and pavilions keep their own seasonal hours, and restrooms are typically open April 1 to November 1). Second, the youth curfew: Blaine enforces a curfew for minors under City Code Chapter 50, Offenses and Miscellaneous Provisions, Section 50-286, applying the Anoka County curfew schedule. The curfew is tiered by age. Children under 12 must be off the streets and out of public places by 9 PM Sunday through Thursday and 10 PM Friday and Saturday. Youth ages 12-14 have a 10 PM curfew Sunday through Thursday and 11 PM Friday and Saturday. Youth ages 15-17 have an 11 PM curfew Sunday through Thursday and 12:01 AM Friday and Saturday. All curfews remain in effect until 5 AM. Standard exceptions to curfews (such as being accompanied by a parent, traveling to or from work, or attending a supervised activity) generally apply. Combined, these rules mean a minor in a Blaine park after 10 PM is subject to both the park-hours rule and the applicable curfew time.
Being in a city park outside the posted 5 AM-10 PM hours, or a minor being in a public place after the applicable curfew time, can result in enforcement under the park rules and Chapter 50, Section 50-286 (curfew), with parents potentially held responsible for repeat curfew violations.
