Summary
Coral Springs parks close to the public between 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. under Section 16-2(G)(1). Anyone who enters, stays, or remains in a park after closing without a permit faces ejection or arrest by a law enforcement officer, and the parks director can shorten hours further or close any section entirely at will.

Full Breakdown
, but lets the director extend or contract those hours for any individual park or portion of one. The only lawful way to remain after closing is to hold a permit obtained from the director in advance; there is no other exception in the text. Subsection (G)(2) separately allows the director to declare any section or part of any park closed to the public at any time, for any interval, temporarily or on a recurring schedule, and either entirely or just as to certain uses, whenever reasonably necessary.
The director's rulemaking power under (G)(3) extends to any reasonable regulation needed to manage, use, preserve, and govern park property and activities, which can include additional posted hour or access restrictions beyond the base 8-to-9 window. Enforcement flows through (G)(4): any violation of the park-use section, including being present after hours or in a closed area, subjects the violator to ejection and/or arrest by a law enforcement officer, and (H) makes each part of the section independently enforceable even if another part is struck down in court.
Violations & Fines
Violating park hours or a closure is enforced directly by law enforcement or park rangers, who may eject a violator from the park or make an arrest under Section 16-2(G)(4). Because after-hours park presence is not itemized in the Section 1-8.1(d) civil fine schedule, it falls under that section's catch-all $50.00 minimum civil penalty for municipal ordinance violations not otherwise scheduled, payable within 20 business days to avoid a mandatory court date.
