Irondequoit, NY Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Town of Irondequoit Code § 164-5 is the Town Property Ordinance's hours rule: no person shall use Town property between 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. unless otherwise posted or authorized, in writing, by the Commissioner of Public Works or his or her designee. Section 164-4 defines Town property to include real property to which the Town of Irondequoit holds fee title and also all real property leased, used or occupied by the Town, including all parking areas adjacent to it. Section 164-2 names recreation sites in particular, and § 164-3 extends the chapter to beaches that are subject to Chapter 206, Swimming. The hours therefore close parks, ballfields, beaches and their parking lots to the public overnight, not only the parks themselves.

Section 164-6A adds a loitering rule for the closed hours: no person shall, except in an emergency, loiter on, congregate on or use any portion of Town property within the hours during which use is prohibited. Posted signs can change the hours for a particular site, and the only written route to a different schedule is authorization from the Commissioner of Public Works or his or her designee. A group that wants an evening event on Town property needs that written authorization, and special events are designated by the Town.

The same chapter regulates conduct inside the open hours. Dogs and cats must be held on a leash, alcohol in an open container is barred except at designated lodges at Camp Eastman, the July 4 beer garden and other designated Town events, tobacco and vaping are barred outside designated areas, and recreational fires are limited to areas designated by the Commissioner. Under § 164-8, a permit holder for an organized sport has priority in a designated area and everyone else must vacate it.
