Lima's public parks are open to the public between 6:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. daily; no one may be in a park outside those hours except for a scheduled Parks & Recreation activity. A separate juvenile curfew (Section 648.15) also applies to minors.
Under Chapter 1060 of the Lima Codified Ordinances, city parks are open only between 6:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. daily, and it is unlawful to enter or remain in a park outside those hours unless attending a scheduled Parks, Recreation and Forestry activity. Lima also enforces a juvenile curfew in Section 648.15 that bars minors from streets, parks, sidewalks and other public places during set nighttime hours, with earlier limits for younger children and later limits for ages 16-17 and on weekends. Together these rules control when residents, and especially minors, may be in city parks at night.
Being in a park when closed, or a minor violating the Section 648.15 curfew, is a misdemeanor offense subject to citation; juvenile curfew violations may also involve the parent or guardian.
