Chino Hills, CA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Park hours and overnight presence in Chino Hills are governed by Chapter 12.40 (Park and Recreational Facilities) of the Municipal Code. Section 12.40.310 provides that hours of park use shall begin 30 minutes before sunrise and end 30 minutes after sunset, unless park amenities are properly lighted with fixed facility lights over city-designated athletic facilities, and that no person shall remain in any park between 30 minutes after sunset and 30 minutes before sunrise. This sunrise/sunset-based schedule means the closing time shifts through the year rather than being a fixed clock hour, and individual parks may post specific operating hours; for example, Grand Avenue Park lists daily hours of 7 a.m. to 30 minutes after sunset and may remain open later for scheduled field rentals. Violations of the park-facility rules are punishable under the general penalty provisions referenced in the Municipal Code (the city's code points to Section 1.36.020 for punishment of violations). Anyone planning evening use of a Chino Hills park, including lighted athletic fields, should confirm the posted hours and any reservation requirements with the city's Community Services / Recreation office.
