Elk Grove, CA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

069 gives the Public Works Director authority to set "reasonable opening and closing hours" for every park facility in the city, rather than fixing a single citywide curfew hour in the ordinance itself; the actual posted hours vary by park and are set administratively. Once hours are posted, the section makes it unlawful for any person to enter, remain in, or camp in or on a park facility during any part of the time it is closed, unless that person holds a permit from the Director allowing after-hours use.

044(B) separately makes it unlawful to park or leave a vehicle standing in a City park during closed hours without a permit, so a car left in a lot after closing is its own violation independent of any person still inside the park. 030: a first violation is an infraction subject to the procedures described in Sections 19(c) and (d) of the California Penal Code, and the Director has authority to eject anyone violating park regulations and to revoke any permit tied to the violation. 38's unlawful camping ordinance, since a campsite set up in a park after hours meets that chapter's definition of prohibited camping on public property.
