Full Breakdown

Section 74-2 sets a single schedule for all municipal parks. Scheduled park activities extend closing to midnight on the days they run. The park along the Resaca Calmada runs on its own schedule, open 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. every day of the week. City personnel conducting city business are exempt from the closed-hours rule. The recreational services director may declare any section of a park closed to the public at any time, temporarily or at stated intervals, which covers maintenance closures and weather events. Park hours are a proprietary rule over city land and remain fully enforceable.

Violations & Fines

Presence in a park during closed hours is a misdemeanor under section 74-2(d), punishable by a fine as set by ordinance or law.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I walk through a park after closing?
No. Section 74-2(b) makes it unlawful for anyone other than city personnel on city business to occupy or be present in a municipal park during closed hours.
What if a game runs late?
Parks stay open until midnight on days when scheduled park activities require it. Pickup games outside a scheduled activity do not extend the closing hour.
Do the same hours apply to every park?
The schedule covers all municipal parks except the park along the Resaca Calmada, which opens earlier at 6:00 a.m. and closes at 11:00 p.m. daily.
