Leander city park grounds and facilities are open to the public from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily; the Mason Homestead is available from 8 a.m. to midnight daily. Being in a park outside posted hours is prohibited. Violators may be removed from park grounds and fined up to $500 for each day the violation exists, under City Ordinance 15-061-00.
The City of Leander sets standard hours for its public parks. Per the city's Park Rules & Regulations, 'Park grounds and facilities are open to the public from 5 am to 10 pm daily,' while the Mason Homestead 'is available from 8 am to midnight daily.' Using park grounds outside those hours is not permitted. The park rules, established by City Ordinance 15-061-00, also prohibit a range of activities, including glass containers, property damage, unauthorized fires, discharging weapons, operating motor vehicles off designated roads and parking areas, interfering with or capturing wildlife, unauthorized swimming or wading, unleashed animals outside designated areas, overnight camping, and the use of metal detectors. The Mason Homestead has additional restrictions, including no smoking or tobacco use, no pets, no open flames or candles, and no nails or tacks for decorations. The enforcement provision is significant: 'Violators of any ordinance provisions may be removed from park grounds and fined up to $500 for each day the violation exists.' Permits and rentals for park facilities are arranged through the Parks and Recreation office. This park-hours rule is distinct from any general juvenile curfew; Leander, like neighboring Cedar Park, has moved away from a youth curfew, but park hours remain in force.
Remaining in a city park outside the 5 a.m.–10 p.m. hours (or the Mason Homestead's 8 a.m.–midnight hours) without authorization, or violating the listed park-use rules, can result in being removed from park grounds and a fine of up to $500 for each day the violation continues.
