Milwaukee County Parks are closed daily between midnight and sunrise under General Ordinances Chapter 47.27, and no person may remain in a park during closed hours. Parks along Lake Michigan open at 4:30 a.m., and violations carry a forfeiture.
Milwaukee County directly enforces a park curfew for its park and parkway system through General Ordinances Chapter 47. Section 47.27 provides that parks, other than those adjacent to Lake Michigan, and parkways are closed daily between midnight and sunrise, except for vehicular traffic on streets and except when the Department of Parks, Recreation and Culture posts different closing hours. Parks adjacent to Lake Michigan open at 4:30 a.m., and no person may remain in a park during closed hours; posted signage controls where hours differ. Under Section 47.29, a Chapter 47 violation carries a forfeiture of ten to two hundred dollars per offense plus costs, with possible jail if unpaid. Municipal parks have separate hours.
Remaining in a county park or parkway during closed hours (generally midnight to sunrise, or before 4:30 a.m. at Lake Michigan parks) violates Section 47.27. Under Section 47.29 the penalty is a $10 to $200 forfeiture per offense plus costs.
