Full Breakdown

Section 30-19 sets one schedule for all city parks within the city limits, and it changes with the season. From March through November, parks are open Sunday through Thursday from 6:30 a.m. through 11:00 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 6:30 a.m. through 12:00 midnight. From December through February the hours are the same on every day of the week, 7:30 a.m. through 9:00 p.m.

The schedule opens with an exception. The hours apply unless the person is participating in an event operated by the city parks, Georgetown-Scott County Parks and Recreation.

Subsection (b) sets the consequence. Any person violating these hours of operation is deemed to have committed a violation pursuant to KRS 532.020 and other applicable law, and fines for the violation of the article are set in accordance with KRS 534.040. The section prints no dollar figure of its own, and it cites KRS 83A.065 as the state law on penalties for ordinance violations.

Other rules in the same Park Rules article apply during open hours. Section 30-20 bars operating or parking any motor vehicle or golf cart in a city park except within the areas, times and conditions determined and posted at the park entrance by the Director of Georgetown/Scott County Parks and Recreation or the director's authorized designee. It also bars ATVs, minibikes, mopeds, motorized bicycles, motorized scooters and other motorized apparatus, with exceptions for park staff, city and county employees doing their jobs, and authorized volunteers at special events. Section 28-92 of the unmanned aircraft article separately prohibits launching or landing a drone within 500 feet of a park, and section 28-91 defines a park as an area officially designated by Georgetown-Scott County Parks and Recreation as a park and posted as such.

Violations & Fines

Under section 30-19(b), any person violating the park hours of operation is deemed to have committed a violation pursuant to KRS 532.020 and other applicable law. Fines for the violation of the article are set in accordance with KRS 534.040. The section itself prints no dollar amount, and the vehicle and motorized-apparatus rules in section 30-20 carry the same penalty language.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time do Georgetown city parks close in summer?
From March through November, section 30-19(a)(1) closes parks at 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and at 12:00 midnight on Friday and Saturday. Parks open at 6:30 a.m. on all of those days. The schedule applies to all city parks within the city limits.
What are the park hours in winter?
From December through February, section 30-19(a)(2) sets the same hours for all days of the week: 7:30 a.m. through 9:00 p.m. The later opening and earlier closing replace the longer March through November schedule for the whole winter period.
Do the hours apply during a city parks event?
Section 30-19(a) begins with the words 'Unless participating in an event operated by the city parks, Georgetown-Scott County Parks and Recreation,' so the posted hours apply unless the person is taking part in such an event. An event run by someone else is not described by that exception.
What happens to someone caught in a park after hours?
Section 30-19(b) deems the person to have committed a violation pursuant to KRS 532.020 and other applicable law, with fines set in accordance with KRS 534.040. The Georgetown section does not print a dollar amount, so the fine comes from the state statute it cites.
