Lubbock parks close from 11 PM to 6 AM daily. Entering or remaining in a city park during closed hours is a Class C misdemeanor with fines up to $500. Mackenzie Park and special-event areas may have different hours.
Lubbock Parks and Recreation rules set standard park hours of 6 AM to 11 PM. Being in a park outside those hours, without a permit or park staff, is a violation of Chapter 22 (Parks) of the Code of Ordinances. Playa lake areas, disc golf courses, and trails fall under the same rules. Mackenzie Park and other flagship parks may have extended hours for special events such as 4th on Broadway or tournament play, with signage posted. Camping is generally prohibited except by permit. Lubbock Police and Park Rangers enforce closed hours and cite violators with Class C misdemeanors.
Fines up to $500 per offense, plus trespass charges for repeat offenders.
