Jefferson Parish parks post no separate ordinance closing hour, but the parish enforces a juvenile curfew: minors are barred from public places, including parks, from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday-Thursday and midnight to 5 a.m. on weekends.
The Jefferson Parish Parks & Recreation Department (JPRD) operates parish parks and playgrounds and does not publish a single code-set closing time; facilities generally close at dark or per posted hours. The enforceable parish rule affecting park use is the juvenile curfew in the Code of Ordinances (Ch. 20), which prohibits minors from being in public places, including parks, during curfew hours. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff enforces the curfew. Incorporated cities within the parish run their own parks and may set separate hours.
Curfew violations by minors are enforced by the Sheriff; parents/guardians can be cited and fined for repeat violations under the parish curfew ordinance.
