Pasco County, FL Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Pasco County's Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources (PRNR) chapter doesn't set a single countywide closing time. Sec. 70-1 explains why: the Board of County Commissioners delegates authority to the county administrator or a designee 'to make rules and promulgate policies' for PRNR properties, so hours can differ across the range of properties Sec. 70-2 defines as PRNR property: active parks (athletic fields, courts, pools), passive parks, preserves, and conservation lands acquired under the Environmental Lands Acquisition and Management Program. Sec. ' Once posted, those hours carry legal weight: Sec.

70-3 makes 'failing to obey any posted regulation or policy' a violation of the Code, and Sec. ' Enforcement runs through Sec. 70-4: a county employee or authorized agent can ask a visitor to leave PRNR property, seek an injunction, or issue a citation under Sec. 1-11 of the county code. If a visitor refuses to leave after hours, Sec. 70-5 escalates that refusal into a trespass matter, since 'law enforcement officers acting lawfully within the scope of their duties' are automatically authorized agents for ejecting visitors, and repeat or willful violators can be formally trespassed from PRNR property under Chapter 60, Article VI.
