Fremont city parks are generally closed from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Entering or remaining in a park after hours without a permit is an infraction subject to citation.
Fremont Community Services Department manages city parks and enforces park hours under Fremont Municipal Code. Unless posted otherwise at a specific park, Fremont city parks are open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily, and entering or remaining in a park outside these hours without written permission or a special event permit is prohibited. Regional parks within Fremont such as Coyote Hills and Mission Peak are managed by East Bay Regional Park District and have their own hours that vary seasonally; Mission Peak has particularly strict parking and access controls due to crowding. After-hours park use for permitted events, sports leagues, or city programs is allowed only with an approved reservation. Violations are enforced by Fremont Police and park rangers through citation.
