State parks in Plymouth County close overnight. Under 302 CMR 12.03, DCR properties like Myles Standish State Forest and Wompatuck State Park are open only from a half hour before sunrise to a half hour after sunset. Towns set their own park hours separately.
Massachusetts counties run no parks, but the state and towns both close theirs after dark. On DCR land in Plymouth County, including Myles Standish State Forest in Plymouth and Carver, Wompatuck State Park in Hingham, Ames Nowell State Park in Abington, and Nantasket Beach in Hull, 302 CMR 12.03 sets hours from a half hour before sunrise to a half hour after sunset unless otherwise posted, with exceptions for camping, fishing, and other authorized nighttime uses. Town-owned parks and beaches in Brockton, Plymouth, and South Shore towns close under local bylaws, often dusk to dawn. Being in a park after closing is trespassing.
Rangers and local police enforce park closing hours. On DCR land, remaining after posted hours violates 302 CMR 12.03 and draws a citation or removal.
