El Paso Parks and Recreation Department enforces park curfews. City parks are generally closed from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM unless otherwise posted or authorized for special events. The park curfew applies to all persons regardless of age. Exceptions exist for organized events with city permits and facilities with extended operating hours such as sports complexes with scheduled evening activities. El Paso police and park rangers enforce park closure hours.
Park users must leave by closing time. Vehicles remaining in park parking lots after hours may be cited or towed. Camping in city parks is prohibited unless specifically authorized. The city may adjust hours for specific parks or seasonal events. El Paso city parks are typically closed from dusk or a posted hour (10 PM-11 PM) until sunrise or 5-6 AM. After-hours presence is trespass and subject to citation. Posted signs at each park indicate specific hours. Permitted events may extend hours. Report after-hours activity to El Paso 311 at 3-1-1 or (915) 212-0000 or park rangers.
Remaining in a park after hours may result in citations for criminal trespass. Vehicles in park lots after closing may be towed at the owner's expense.
