Lakeville City Code 7-1-2 makes it unlawful to be in any city park after 10:00 PM and before 6:00 AM, except for permitted camping or a permitted activity. Aronson Park has extended hours of 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. A separate Dakota County juvenile curfew also applies citywide.
Lakeville sets specific hours for its parks under City Code Title 7 (Public Ways and Property), section 7-1-2 (Hours Parks Open to Public). It is unlawful for any person to be in any city park after 10:00 PM and before 6:00 AM. Two exceptions apply: camping in an area designated for that purpose, and participating in an activity for which a permit has been granted by the city. Aronson Park has different hours and may be open to the public between 6:00 AM and 11:00 PM. These park-hour rules apply to everyone regardless of age and are aimed at preventing after-hours use, loitering, and vandalism in city parks. Separately, juveniles in Lakeville are subject to a curfew adopted from Dakota County. The city follows the Dakota County curfew ordinance, with times that vary by age: minors under 12 may not be out Sunday through Thursday from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM and Friday and Saturday from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM; ages 12 to 14 from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM (Sunday-Thursday) and 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM (Friday and Saturday); and ages 15 to 17 from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM (Sunday-Thursday) and midnight to 5:00 AM (Friday and Saturday). Park visitors should leave city parks by 10:00 PM (11:00 PM at Aronson Park) unless they hold a valid permit or are camping in a designated area.
Being in a city park during closed hours (after 10:00 PM and before 6:00 AM, or outside 6:00 AM-11:00 PM at Aronson Park) without a permit or designated camping is a violation. Juveniles out during curfew hours may be subject to enforcement under the Dakota County curfew.
