Clark County Parks (Public Works) sets park hours administratively: most parks are open 7 a.m. to dusk, and a few vary. Being in a park outside posted hours is not permitted. The park rules also prohibit, unless posted or authorized by a county-issued special use permit or the parks manager: alcohol consumption, unauthorized fires, firearms and fireworks discharge, hunting, littering, overnight camping, and off-road vehicle operation off roads/lots. Dogs must be leashed at all times except in designated off-leash areas, and owners must clean up after them. RCW 69.50.445 bars marijuana use in public places including county parks.
Violating park rules, including being in a park after hours or overnight camping, can result in ejection, citation, and enforcement by Clark County Parks and the Sheriff's Office; specific fines are set by posted rules and applicable code.
