Lakewood, WA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

030 sets the default operating window for every city park and recreation facility: parks are open from dawn to dusk unless a City-issued permit or posted signage says otherwise. 76 covers all park property, marine park areas and recreation facilities operated by the City of Lakewood's Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department. 400 then makes it unlawful to enter or remain in a City park area during the hours the park is closed, with a single carved-out exception for people using park facilities as part of an activity the City has authorized, such as a permitted evening event or a scheduled program that runs past dusk.

76 ('Rules Governing Use of Facilities: Infractions'), a violation is charged as a civil infraction rather than a criminal misdemeanor. 030. 590, and refusing that order is itself unlawful and can trigger loss of park-use privileges and ejection, independent of the closed-hours infraction. This curfew applies only within the City of Lakewood's own park system in Pierce County; it has no application on Joint Base Lewis-McChord property, which is federal land outside Lakewood's municipal jurisdiction.
