Unincorporated Spokane County parks are regulated under SCC Chapter 6.14, County Park Regulations, adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in 2015 and enforced by the Parks Department and Spokane County Sheriff. The chapter governs hours of operation (parks are day-use and close after posted evening hours), prohibited conduct, and activities requiring a permit — for example, metal detecting requires a permit under SCC 6.14.040. Posted signs at each park state the specific open/closed hours; remaining in a park after closing is prohibited. This differs from the City of Spokane, whose parks close 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. under SMC 12.06A.040 — county rules apply only to county-operated parks in unincorporated areas.
Violating the County Park Regulations, including being present after posted closing hours, is an infraction under SCC 6.14; penalties and removal are enforced by park staff and the Sheriff's Office.
