Pinellas County parks operate under Chapter 90 of the Code of Ordinances, generally open 7 a.m. to sunset with closure on the day after Thanksgiving and December 25 each year.
Chapter 90 of the Pinellas County Code addresses parks and conservation resources, authorizing the Parks and Conservation Resources Department to set hours of operation, prohibited conduct, and closure conditions. Most county parks open at 7 a.m. and close at sunset, with two annual closure days on the day after Thanksgiving and on December 25. The department may post site-specific hours for nature preserves, boat ramps, and beach parks, and may close areas to protect resources or for permitted events. Article I prohibits being in a park outside posted hours, damaging facilities, and disturbing flora or fauna. Camping, alcohol, and overnight parking generally require a special permit.
Remaining in a county park after closure can result in a trespass warning, ejection, and a county ordinance citation under Chapter 90, with separate state trespass charges available for repeat offenders.
