Parks across Atlantic County close after dark. The Atlantic County Division of Parks and Recreation closes county parks from dawn to dusk, and each municipality closes its own parks and beaches under its police power, N.J.S.A. 40:48-2. Being in a closed park is trespassing.
Atlantic County runs a park system, and both the county and its municipalities close their parks overnight. The Atlantic County Division of Parks and Recreation, which manages sites such as Estell Manor Park and Lake Lenape Park in Mays Landing and Weymouth Furnace, sets posted hours that generally run from dawn (about 7:30 a.m.) to dusk unless a permit or scheduled program allows otherwise. Municipal parks, boardwalks, and beaches in Atlantic City, Ventnor, Margate, and Brigantine close under local ordinances adopted through the general police power of N.J.S.A. 40:48-2, most often from dusk or a fixed evening hour until morning. Posted signs at each entrance control.
County park staff and municipal police enforce closing hours. Staying in a county or municipal park past posted hours is defiant trespass under N.J.S.A.
