Full Breakdown
City parks in Greeley, Colorado are closed to the public between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. under Municipal Code §18-304, and the director of culture, parks and recreation must post the closing hours at each park under §18-305. Section 18-306 makes it unlawful to be in a park during closed hours, with narrow exceptions for through traffic on park streets, residents of adjoining areas, previously permitted public events, park employees, and anyone with written permission from the director. There's no exception for casual after-hours visitors, you either fit a listed carve-out or you're in violation.
