Chapter 2-13 of the Floyd County Code governs the county's recreation facilities and parks in the unincorporated area. Sec. , any day of the week, with no seasonal exception written into the text. The section immediately before it, Sec. window, making it unlawful to drive onto the grounds or park along any street, avenue, or parking area within a recreation facility during those hours. Together the two sections mean both foot traffic and vehicle traffic are barred after closing, not just one or the other.

Enforcement runs through the general penalty scheme: Sec. 2-13-27 states that violating any provision of Chapter 2-13 is punished as provided in Sec. 2-1-8, and that a separate offense is deemed committed on each day a violation occurs or continues, with jurisdiction sitting in the Floyd County Magistrate's Court rather than superior court. The same chapter gives park staff and law enforcement additional tools nearby: Sec. 2-13-26 lets any authorized recreation employee or officer eject a person who causes a disturbance or breaks a law while in a park, and that person cannot return to the same recreation area for 24 hours. Read together, the curfew is enforced as an ordinary misdemeanor-style county ordinance violation rather than through a separate curfew-specific penalty scale.
