County regional parks are open sunrise to sunset unless posted otherwise. No one may enter or remain in a county park after closing hours without a prior reservation. The director may set a curfew for persons under 16.
Washoe County Regional Parks & Open Space rules are in WCC Chapter 95. Under WCC 95.060, park hours are sunrise to sunset unless specifically posted otherwise or authorized by the director, and no person (except county employees or enforcement officials on official business) may enter or be present in any county park after closing hours without a prior reservation. WCC 95.070 lets the director set a curfew for persons under 16 in any county park when conditions warrant special protection of juveniles and public safety; during a curfew, an under-16 person may only remain if accompanied by a parent/guardian, part of a supervised permitted group, or camping with written parental consent. Refusing an order to leave constitutes trespassing (WCC 95.300).
Violations are punishable under WCC 125.050 (misdemeanor penalty). Enforcement officials may cite violators and may exclude a person from one or more county parks for a set period (WCC 95.480).
