Issaquah, WA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Section 9.26.020 sets a default and then lists the places that keep their own hours. The default is that the City's parks are open from sunrise to sunset. Every park, community or community facility land not named in the list falls under that line.

Six named places carry their own schedules. The Issaquah Community Center and Issaquah Green are open from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., the same hours printed for Tibbetts Valley Park. Julius Boehm Pool Park has the earliest opening, 5:00 a.m., and closes at 10:00 p.m. The Issaquah Skate Park opens at 8:00 a.m. and closes at sunset. Black Nugget Park in Issaquah Highlands opens at 6:00 a.m. and also closes at sunset. Hillside Cemetery, upper and lower, is open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. or sunset, whichever occurs first, so the earlier of the two ends the day.

Tradition Plateau and the West Tiger Mountain Natural Resources Conservation Area are handled differently. The code notes that the NRCA is managed by interagency agreement with the Washington Dept. of Natural Resources and says hours are posted depending on season. It gives winter hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and summer hours of 6:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. as examples, so the posted signs at the site control.

The section closes by allowing individual parks to be open earlier or later for reserved or scheduled recreational activities pursuant to a special event or special use permit under Chapter 5.14 IMC. Outside such a permit, the listed hours apply.

Two neighboring rules matter after dark. IMC 9.26.030 separately bans camping in any park or playfield owned by the City, and IMC 9.26.040 treats the two offenses differently: camping is a misdemeanor, while a violation of the park hours is only an infraction.
