Fayetteville sets closing hours for its parks under Chapter 97 of the city code and posted park regulations. Most city parks close at 11 p.m. and reopen in the morning, while the Upper Ramble at Kessler Mountain closes at 3 a.m. The three city lakes, Lake Fayetteville, Lake Sequoyah, and Lake Wilson, are open to the public only from sunrise to sunset daily and are closed sunset to sunrise; Lake Fayetteville is additionally closed on Thanksgiving Day and from sunset December 23 through January 14. Overnight camping is prohibited without a permit, and events or races require a permit. Posted signs at each park control, and remaining after closing is treated as trespass.
Parks staff and Fayetteville Police enforce closing hours. Staying in a park or at a city lake after posted hours is criminal trespass, drawing a citation and removal, and a vehicle left after closing can be ticketed or towed.
