Buncombe County's Recreation Services operates its parks on posted hours of 8:00 a.m. to dark, seven days per week, with closures on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Being in a park after dark/after posted closing is not permitted. General park conduct (use, weapons, alcohol, and similar restrictions) is governed by Chapter 54 (Parks and Recreation) of the Buncombe County Code, including Sec. 54-10 on policy for use and weapons. Individual facilities and athletic complexes may post different hours, and city parks inside Asheville follow the city's own hours and ordinances.
Remaining in a county park after closing or violating posted park rules can result in being cited for trespass or a Chapter 54 ordinance violation and removal from the facility.
