Cumberland County has a curfew ordinance (Code Chapter 9.5, Article X) enforced against juveniles and adults who let them violate it; Fayetteville sets its own park hours under City Code Chapter 18. Confirm posted hours before visiting a park after dark.
Cumberland County's Code of Ordinances includes curfew provisions in Chapter 9.5, Article X (Sections 9.5-142 through 9.5-145), and its civil-penalty schedule lists a violation for a non-juvenile who allows a curfew breach. Public parks and recreation areas are typically posted with hours, and being present after closing can be treated as trespass or a curfew violation. Within the City of Fayetteville, park hours of operation are set under City Code Chapter 18 (Parks and Recreation), and Fayetteville-Cumberland Parks & Recreation posts closing times at each facility. Because the exact county curfew text and Fayetteville's park-hour section were not machine-readable here, check the posted hours on site and the official code before assuming a park is open at night.
A non-juvenile who violates the county curfew provisions in Chapter 9.5, Article X faces a misdemeanor, a fine up to $100, and imprisonment of up to 30 days per the county penalty schedule.
