Amador County, CA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Amador County does not have a dedicated parks chapter with posted open-and-close hours in its municipal code; park operating hours are set administratively by the Amador County Recreation Agency. The enforceable curfew that applies to county parks and other public spaces is the general minors' curfew in County Code Chapter 9.68. Section 9.68.020 makes it unlawful for any minor under the age of 18 to loiter or be upon any street, road, highway, private road (without the owner's written consent), or in any place open to the public in the county between 10:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Two exceptions apply: when the minor is in the company of a parent, legal guardian, or person with legal care and custody; and when the minor is returning home from a licensed movie theater, a social or religious function, or a school-sanctioned social or athletic event. Section 9.68.030 makes it unlawful for any person to associate with a minor who is out in violation of the curfew, and Section 9.68.040 bars business owners from permitting minors to remain in a public place of business during curfew hours. Penalties under Section 9.68.050 send a violating minor to the county probation officer, while an adult violator is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $100 or up to 30 days in county jail, or both. This curfew, originally adopted by Ordinance 294 in 1958, covers public county parks because they are places open to the public in the county.
