Parks in Lee County close at posted hours - Auburn's Kiesel and Town Creek parks, Opelika Municipal Park, and nearby Chewacla State Park. Remaining after closing is criminal trespass under Alabama law.
Public parks around Lee County set their own hours. Auburn parks such as Kiesel Park and Town Creek Park, along with Chewacla State Park just south of the city, close at posted times, generally dusk or a set evening hour, and Opelika's Municipal Park and Rocky Brook areas do the same. Alabama has no statewide park-hours statute, so closing times are set by each city, the county, or the state park. Remaining in a park or on public grounds after posted closing is enforced as criminal trespass under Alabama's trespass statutes, Ala. Code section 13A-7-2 and related sections. Sports fields under lights may stay open later for scheduled play.
After-hours presence in a park can be charged as criminal trespass under Alabama law. Unauthorized camping and vandalism during closed hours draw additional penalties. Enforcement is by city police, the Sheriff, and park staff.
