Summary

Largo parks close according to hours the Recreation, Parks and Arts Department posts at each site, and Section 17-33(a) makes it unlawful to remain in a park during those closed hours. Section 17-30(e) backs the rule by barring entry or presence outside posted hours without written director permission.

Sec. 17-33. - Prohibited activities in city parks. ... it shall be unlawful for any person to do any one or more of the following in a park owned or controlled by the city:(a)Be in the park or on park or on park property during the hours when the park is closed. ... Sec. 17-30. - Proper use of facilities. ... (e)No person shall enter or remain upon park property at any time other than officially posted hours of normal park operation except by written permission from the director.

Full Breakdown

Section 17-33(a) of the Largo Code of Ordinances lists 'being in the park or on park property during the hours when the park is closed' as a prohibited activity in any park owned or controlled by the city. ' Neither section fixes one universal citywide closing time; instead, hours of operation are set park-by-park and posted at each location, administered by the Recreation, Parks and Arts Department under the definitions in Section 17-1. A visitor who overstays the posted hours or enters after closing is also subject to Section 17-30(f), which lets any law enforcement officer or department staff member issue a lawful command to leave, separate from and in addition to a citation for the closed-hours violation itself.

Because both curfew provisions cross-reference department-posted signage rather than a fixed clock time written into the code, the operative closing hour for a given park, playground or beach access point is whatever hours are posted on-site, and the only way around that closure is the director's written permission under Section 17-30(e).

Violations & Fines

Remaining in a Largo park after posted closing hours violates Section 17-33(a) and Section 17-30(e), and is punished under Section 17-38: a fine of up to $500, up to 60 days in the county jail, or both. Officers and department staff may also order an immediate departure under Section 17-30(f) independent of any citation issued.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time do Largo parks close?
There is no single citywide closing time in the code. Section 17-30(e) ties park hours to whatever is 'officially posted' at each location, and the Recreation, Parks and Arts Department sets and posts those hours park by park.
Is it illegal to be in a Largo park after hours?
Yes. Section 17-33(a) makes it unlawful to be in a park or on park property during the hours when it is closed, and Section 17-30(e) separately bars entering or remaining on park property outside posted operating hours without the director's written permission.
Can I get permission to be in a Largo park after closing?
Only with written permission from the Recreation, Parks and Arts director. Section 17-30(e) allows entry or presence outside posted hours solely with that written authorization; without it, remaining in a closed park violates both Section 17-30(e) and Section 17-33(a).
