Costa Mesa, CA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

All Costa Mesa city parks, including Fairview Park, TeWinkle Park, Lions Park, Estancia Park, Tanager Park, Canyon Park, and all neighborhood parks, close at 10:00 PM and reopen at 6:00 AM daily unless otherwise posted at the park entrance. Some parks or specific facilities within parks may have different posted hours. Lighted sports fields and courts may have extended hours when scheduled activities are in progress under a valid facility reservation. The Parks and Community Services Division administers park hours and may authorize extended access through special event permits for organized activities. Fairview Park, Costa Mesa's largest park at 208 acres, has particular enforcement attention due to its size and ecological sensitivity as a restored wetland and native habitat area. The park's nature trails and Costa Mesa Golf and Country Club-adjacent areas are included in the park curfew. TeWinkle Park, home to the Orange County Fairgrounds' neighbor park and athletic fields, follows standard park hours unless a scheduled event extends operations. Parking lots within parks close at the same time as the park. Vehicles remaining in park parking lots after closing may be towed at the owner's expense. The Costa Mesa Police Department conducts regular patrols of city parks during nighttime hours.
