Grapevine, TX Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Grapevine's Parks and Recreation regulations establish that city parks, trails, playgrounds, and public open spaces are closed to public use between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. unless otherwise posted. Some developed facilities, lighted athletic fields, or event venues may close earlier or stay open later with posted hours. Entering or remaining in a closed park is a Class C misdemeanor punishable by fines up to $500. Park curfew covers related activities such as parking in a park lot after hours, walking or running on a closed trail, and using a playground at night. Special events, youth sports, and rental of park facilities after hours are permitted only with an approved special event or facility use permit obtained from the Parks and Recreation Department. Grapevine Lake is primarily managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and has its own operating hours and rules, with some parks requiring day-use or camping fees and strict nighttime boating rules. Marinas and boat launches also have posted hours. Enforcement is by the Grapevine Police Department and park rangers for Corps of Engineers areas. Park curfew is stepped up after major events such as Grapefest and Christmas Capital of Texas activities to reduce littering, vandalism, and noise.
