Full Breakdown
Cranston limits public access to Still House Cove Park to the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. under Code § 12.20.180; anyone inside the park's limits outside that window is subject to a fine of up to $50.00. The Ocean Avenue Scenic View public access point carries the identical 6:00 a.m.-to-10:00 p.m. window and $50.00 cap under § 12.20.181. The code does not set blanket closing hours for every park in the city, these two waterfront sites are the ones named individually in the ordinance, so other parks and playgrounds may post their own locally set hours on-site signage.
Violations & Fines
Being inside Still House Cove Park or the Ocean Avenue Scenic View outside the 6:00 a.m.-to-10:00 p.m. window is a violation punishable by a fine of up to $50.00.
