Fresno parks are closed to the public from 10:30 PM to 6:00 AM under FMC Chapter 13 (Parks and Recreation) unless otherwise posted or authorized by special event permit. All persons must vacate City parks during closed hours. The Fresno Police Department and park rangers enforce park curfew, particularly in parks that have experienced after-hours criminal activity.
Certain parks may have different posted hours based on specific conditions. Lighted sports facilities may remain open later during scheduled activities. The Woodward Park and Roeding Park areas have dedicated patrol presence for curfew enforcement. Special events with City permits may operate outside normal park hours. Camping or overnight sleeping in parks is prohibited. The City has invested in park lighting and surveillance to improve safety during operating hours.
Persons found in closed parks after curfew may be cited for trespassing and face fines. Vehicles in park parking lots after hours may be cited or towed.
