Boise city parks are subject to closure hours enforced by the Parks and Recreation Department and Boise Police. Most parks close at a designated time in the evening and reopen in the morning. The Boise River Greenbelt has separate hours.
Most Boise city parks close from 11 PM to 6 AM daily. The Boise River Greenbelt is open from dawn to dusk. Some facilities like the Boise Depot and Julia Davis Park may have specific closure times. Being in a park after posted closure hours is a violation. Overnight camping in parks is prohibited except in designated campgrounds. Special event permits may allow extended park use. Park closure signs are posted at entrances.
Being in a closed park can result in trespassing citations. Repeated violations may result in fines and bans from park facilities. Overnight camping violations may result in citations and removal of camping equipment.
