Hidalgo County parks are run by the county precinct parks departments, which set posted closing hours. In Precinct 2, visitors must be out of the park by 9 p.m., with Las Milpas Park closing at 7 p.m. Hours are posted and enforced at each park.
Unlike zoning, county park hours are a valid exercise of the county's authority over its own facilities. Hidalgo County parks are operated by the individual county precincts, and each posts closing hours for its parks. The Precinct 2 Parks Department rules state that visitors must be out of the park by 9 p.m., except for Las Milpas Park, which closes at 7 p.m. Other precincts, including Precinct 1, which maintains several recreational and neighborhood parks, post their own hours at each site. These are facility-use rules rather than a countywide youth curfew; general nighttime curfews for minors are adopted by cities inside their limits, not by the county. Always follow the hours posted at the specific park you are visiting.
Remaining in a county park after its posted closing time, 9 p.m. in Precinct 2 or 7 p.m. at Las Milpas Park, violates the precinct park rules and can result in being ordered to leave and a trespass-after-hours citation.
