County parks in unincorporated San Diego County operate during posted hours, generally about 9:30 a.m. to sunset. Under County Code Section 41.125, no person may remain in a county park outside posted hours unless authorized to camp or otherwise authorized by the Director.
Park hours in unincorporated San Diego County are set by the County Department of Parks and Recreation under Title 4 (Chapter 41) of the San Diego County Code of Regulatory Ordinances. Section 41.125 (Closing Hours) provides that no person shall remain upon, occupy, or use the facilities or equipment of a County park, or permit any vehicle to remain there, except between the posted hours of any day, unless authorized to camp under Article 3 of the chapter or otherwise authorized by the Director. The County's published general operating hours for most parks are approximately 9:30 a.m. until sunset, with public vehicle access and restrooms available during those hours; some areas are open sunrise to sunset for walk-in access, and campgrounds have separate hours for registered campers. Because hours are posted at each park and set by the Director, the exact closing time varies by location and season, but presence in a park after posted closing without a camping permit or other authorization is prohibited.
Remaining in a County park after posted closing hours without a camping permit or Director authorization violates Section 41.125. Violations of the County parks chapter are enforced under Section 41.107; violations not specifically designated as infractions are misdemeanors. Camping authorization is governed by Article 3 of the chapter.
