Conduct in Davis city parks and greenbelts is governed by Chapter 27 of the Davis Municipal Code, including Section 27.02.130 (Behavior in Parks). Specific park areas are closed to the public between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 5:00 a.m., and no person may enter an area posted as closed.
Under DMC Chapter 27, conduct in all city parks and greenbelts is subject to the city's general police regulations and the park rules. Section 27.02.130 (Behavior in Parks) prohibits entering any area posted as Closed to the Public and using any area in violation of posted notices, and it bars possessing or setting off fireworks, explosives, or flammable material without a permit. The city's park guidance states that specific parks have areas closed between 12:00 midnight and 5:00 a.m., so overnight use of those posted areas is prohibited. Alcohol in parks is separately restricted under the city's open-container provisions. Violations of park rules are civil infractions that can result in immediate citation, fines, and removal from the park or greenbelt.
Being in a posted-closed park area between midnight and 5:00 a.m., entering areas posted closed, or violating other posted park rules is a civil infraction. Enforcement can include an immediate citation, fines, and removal from the park.
