All City of Johns Creek parks are closed from midnight until 6 a.m. under the City's Park Rules, with the dog park open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Violating any park rule is punishable by a fine not to exceed $250 and/or up to 90 days in jail. Park use is also governed by Code Chapter 38.
The City of Johns Creek sets park hours through its official Park Rules, administered by the Recreation & Parks Division and backed by Chapter 38 (Parks and Recreation) of the Code of Ordinances. Rule 1 states that all City parks are closed from midnight until 6 a.m. Rule 2 sets separate dog-park hours of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. The Park Rules also prohibit alcoholic beverages, hunting, camping, and swimming in park ponds or lakes; require pets to be leashed (except in designated areas) and pet waste to be removed; limit motor vehicles to designated roadways with a 15 mph speed limit; ban littering, dumping, and unapproved commercial use; and prohibit solicitation and the posting of signs without written approval. Pets are not allowed at City events or in the Amphitheater area except for properly identified service animals. The enforcement clause provides that violation of any of the park rules shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $250 and/or 90 days in jail. This is a general park-curfew (hours-of-operation) rule applicable to all park users; it is distinct from any separate juvenile-curfew ordinance. Confirm current hours for individual parks with the Recreation & Parks Division, as specific facilities (such as the dog park) have their own posted hours.
Being in a City park between midnight and 6 a.m., or otherwise violating a posted park rule, is an offense punishable by a fine not to exceed $250 and/or up to 90 days in jail. Vandalism will be separately prosecuted under the rules, and unapproved sign-posting or solicitation in parks is prohibited.
