Laredo city parks are closed from 10 PM to 6 AM unless a permit authorizes after-hours use. Entry during closed hours is a Class C misdemeanor with fines up to $500. Lit sports fields and lighted plazas have posted extended hours.
The City of Laredo Parks and Recreation Department closes most public parks from 10 PM to 6 AM nightly. Signs posted at park entrances indicate the specific hours for each facility. Certain lit athletic complexes (such as soccer fields and softball diamonds at Slaughter Park, Independence Hills, and North Central Park) have extended hours when leagues or tournaments have reservations, typically until 11 PM. Special events with permits may authorize later use. Plaza areas downtown (San Agustin Plaza, Jarvis Plaza) may have different hours posted. Entering or remaining in a closed park is criminal trespass under TX Penal Code 30.05, enforced as a Class C misdemeanor with fines up to $500. Vehicles in park lots after hours may be cited or towed. Park curfew ties in closely with the juvenile curfew for minors under 17.
Class C misdemeanor, fine up to $500. Repeat offenders or those committing other offenses (vandalism, alcohol) face additional charges.
