Boulder City, NV Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Boulder City Municipal Code parks and recreation provisions establish closing hours for city parks, with the specific time generally posted at each park entrance. Typical closing hours are 10 pm or 11 pm, and parks reopen at dawn or around 5 am. Parks subject to these rules include Veterans Memorial Park, Broadbent Park, and other city-owned open space. Entering or remaining in a park after posted closing hours is a violation enforced by Boulder City Police. Typical first-response is a warning and request to leave, with citations issued for repeat or egregious violations. Activities that prompt enforcement include unauthorized overnight camping, fires, loud gatherings, drug or alcohol use, and vandalism. Some parks with boat launches (Hemenway Harbor, Lake Mead marina access) have separate hours tied to marina operations. Boulder City overlaps with Lake Mead National Recreation Area, a federal park with its own rules under 36 CFR administered by the National Park Service — the federal rules apply on federal land and include separate camping, fire, and hours regulations. Park curfew helps reduce after-hours nuisance, protect park facilities, and improve public safety. Special events in parks after hours require a city park use permit issued by the Parks and Recreation department.
