Hayward Area Recreation and Park District parks and City parks close to the public nightly, typically from about 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., with no overnight use.
Hayward parks operated by the City and by the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District (HARD) are subject to posted hours, generally open from one-half hour after sunrise until 10 p.m. unless a later time is posted at a specific facility. Remaining in a park after closing is a trespass under Hayward Municipal Code and HARD Ordinance 1, punishable as an infraction. No camping, overnight sleeping, or storage of personal property is allowed in parks, trails, or on park lands. Motor vehicles may not be parked in park lots after closing. Alcohol, glass containers, and unauthorized amplified sound are prohibited in parks at all times. Park rangers, HARD staff, and Hayward Police enforce hours and may issue citations or make custodial arrests for repeated violations or resistance. Permitted special events may extend hours only within the scope of the permit.
