Summary

Floyd County parks shut down overnight. Floyd County Code § 92.10 makes it unlawful to remain, stay, or loiter in any county park between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. without prior written authorization from the Superintendent of Parks.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Floyd County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

§ 92.10 HOURS OF CLOSING. It shall be unlawful to remain, stay, or loiter in any park between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. of the following day, unless with the prior written authorization of the Superintendent of Parks.

Full Breakdown

Together the two sections mean a car left behind after closing is not just a curfew violation for whoever is still there, it is also grounds for the vehicle itself to be removed by a towing company.

11 carves out one exception: the closing-hours rule, like the rest of the chapter, does not apply to a properly authorized government official acting in the pursuit of official duty, such as a Sheriff's deputy patrolling the grounds. 99: up to $2,500 in civil penalties for a first violation and up to $7,500 for each later violation, with each day of a continuing violation counted as a separate offense.
