Cedar Hill city parks generally close from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.; Cedar Hill State Park has separate TPWD-set hours that vary seasonally.
Cedar Hill city-operated parks (such as Valley Ridge Park, Crawford Memorial Park, Hillside Park, and the Cedar Hill Recreation Center grounds) are typically closed from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. unless the visitor is using a permitted facility or attending a city-sponsored event. After-hours presence may result in a Class C misdemeanor citation for trespass. Cedar Hill State Park (operated by Texas Parks & Wildlife Department) sets its own hours — generally 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. for day use, with overnight camping allowed only by reservation. Joe Pool Lake areas managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers/TPWD have separate posted hours. Always check signage at the trailhead or park entrance.
