Under Indio Municipal Code Section 96.11 (Chapter 96, City Parks and Facilities), no person may remain, stay, or loiter in any city park between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. without a permit. The Police Chief may close a park earlier for safety reasons, and the City Manager may extend hours. Closed hours must be posted.
Indio sets park hours in Section 96.11 (Public Hours of Use; Parking) of Chapter 96 (City Parks and Facilities) of the Municipal Code. The basic rule: except in accord with a specific written permit provision, no person shall remain, stay, or loiter in any park between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. In effect, Indio parks are open roughly from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Parking at any park is governed by the related parking section. The ordinance also gives officials flexibility in both directions. The Police Chief may order a park closed before sunset and after sunrise when the Chief determines that activities constituting a threat to public health, safety, or welfare have occurred or are occurring and that closing is necessary to protect the public. Conversely, the City Manager may designate extended park hours for a park when doing so is consistent with sound use of park resources, will enhance recreational activities, and is not detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare. To make the rules enforceable and fair, at least one sign designating the hours when the park is closed must be installed prominently in the park. During any ordered closure it is unlawful for any person to remain, stay, or loiter in the park. Note that this park-hours rule is separate from Indio's general minors' curfew, which is in Chapter 130.
Remaining in a city park during posted closed hours (10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.) or during a Police Chief-ordered closure is unlawful and can result in a citation for violating the park-use ordinance.
