Columbia County parks close at posted hours, and being in a park after closing is enforced as trespassing. Wildwood Park and Savannah Rapids Park set their own gate and access times through Parks, Recreation & Events.
Columbia County's parks - including Wildwood Park on Clarks Hill Lake, Savannah Rapids Park on the canal, and the community parks around Evans and Grovetown - operate on hours posted by Parks, Recreation & Events. Entry or use after closing is treated as trespassing; exceptions cover county-sanctioned events, reserved facilities, and Wildwood's campground. Boat ramps and trails may keep their own dawn-to-dusk schedule. Once staff or deputies tell a visitor to leave and they remain, it is criminal trespass under O.C.G.A. § 16-7-21, and after-hours loiterers can also be charged under the county's loitering or prowling ordinance. The Columbia County Sheriff's Office enforces closures.
Remaining in a park after posted hours can be charged as criminal trespass under O.C.G.A. § 16-7-21, a misdemeanor, or as loitering or prowling under County Code § 58-3. Sheriff's deputies enforce closures.
