Rock County parks close overnight. State law (Wis. Stat. 27.05) empowers the county to set park rules and penalties, and Rock County Parks posts closing hours at each park; being in a park after closing is a violation.
Wisconsin gives counties clear authority to run parks and set enforceable rules. Under Wis. Stat. 27.05(1)(f), the county board 'shall establish rules and regulations governing the conduct and behavior of patrons in and on any such park and shall provide for penalties for infractions.' Rock County uses this authority to set park hours (parks are day-use and close overnight, typically around 10 or 11 p.m. until early morning) and to govern camping, alcohol and vehicles. Exact opening and closing times are posted at each park and on the Rock County Parks pages; some sites (like reservable shelters and dog areas) have their own hours. Check the specific park before an early or late visit.
Being in a county park after posted closing hours is a rule violation enforceable by the county under Wis. Stat. 27.05, typically by ordinance forfeiture and removal from the park.
