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.
