Riverside County, CA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Park hours in unincorporated Riverside County are governed by the rules of the Riverside County Regional Park and Open-Space District (RivCoParks), backed by County of Riverside Ordinance No. 328, which "shall be enforced in all District Regional Parks" (District Rules, General Park Rules). Day-use hours are from sunrise to sunset unless otherwise stated or posted (Day Use Rule 1), so being in a day-use area after sunset without authorization is not permitted. For campgrounds, a camping day runs from 2:00 p.m. check-in to 1:00 p.m. check-out, and quiet hours are observed at all parks from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., during which loud or disruptive behavior can lead to immediate expulsion without refund (Camping Rules). Small radios are permitted except during the 10:00 p.m.-6:00 a.m. window so long as they do not disturb the peace; amplified music requires advance District authorization. General rules enforced under Ordinance 328 also prohibit hunting and firearms, fireworks, off-road vehicles, and damaging or removing park features such as plants, rocks, and artifacts. RivCoParks advises guests to confirm current hours and any temporary restrictions (for example campfire or water-use rules) before visiting, since individual parks may post different gate-closing times. Specific city parks within incorporated cities follow that city's own municipal code rather than the District rules.
