City of Fort Collins parks and recreation areas are closed to entry from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. under City Code Section 23-203. Specific facilities such as ballfields and tennis courts may have additional posted hours.
Under the Fort Collins City Code, entering a park or recreation area during the hours of 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. is prohibited; the rule applies to city parks and trails whether inside or outside city limits. Specific hours for facilities like ballfields and tennis courts become effective upon conspicuous posting, and no person may engage in an activity where a sign posted by the Parks Department prohibits it. Items may not be left in recreation areas overnight during the same closed hours. Larimer County's own parks, open spaces and natural areas post their own daytime-only hours (generally sunrise to sunset unless a campground) at each site, so check posted signs for the specific property.
Being in a park during closed hours violates City Code Section 23-203 and is a municipal offense subject to citation and fine.
