Cupertino city parks are closed overnight under Municipal Code Chapter 13.04. No person may remain, stay, or loiter in a public park between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. unless the City Council sets other hours, and many parks post shorter hours by resolution.
Under CMC Chapter 13.04 (Parks), no person may remain, stay, or loiter in any public park between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. of the following day, or as otherwise designated by minute order or resolution of the City Council. By resolution, most Cupertino parks post shorter hours, for example daylight to one hour after sunset, with Memorial Park open until 10 p.m. and McClellan Ranch Preserve open 6 a.m. to dusk. No person may leave a vehicle in a park after closing, and vehicles or movable structures left after closing may be towed at the owner's expense (CMC 13.04.191). The chapter also requires permits for certain park uses (CMC 13.04.040). The curfew is enforced as a Municipal Code violation.
Being in a city park after closing hours can result in a citation for a Municipal Code violation, and vehicles left after closing may be towed at the owner's expense.
