Flagler County, FL Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Sec. 23-1 of the Flagler County Code sets a single, countywide default: parks, preserves and community centers operated by the county are open from dawn until 11:00 p.m., unless a particular facility posts a different schedule at the entrance. The only carved-out exception is boat ramps at county facilities, which the code keeps open at all times regardless of the general park curfew, recognizing that boaters often launch before dawn or return after dark.

Being present in a county park after the posted closing hour is not, by itself, a listed offense in Sec. 23-2's list of prohibited park activities, but Sec. 23-2(24) separately bars camping or staying overnight anywhere except in areas designated for that use, and Sec. 23-2(13) bars parking a vehicle overnight, both of which function as practical after-hours enforcement tools once the 11:00 p.m. closing time has passed. The county administrator can also designate special-use parks or areas under Sec. 23-5 with their own hours, potentially extending or shortening access for specific programmed uses.

This ordinance governs only county-operated parks, preserves and community centers in the unincorporated territory of Flagler County. It has no bearing on municipal parks operated by Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, Beverly Beach, Bunnell or the Town of Marineland, each of which sets its own park hours under its own code. Anyone visiting a Palm Coast city park, for example, is subject to that city's separate rules, not this county ordinance.
