Bergen County parks are closed daily from dusk to dawn under the Bergen County Park Commission's rules. Entry into county parks after closing hours is prohibited unless specifically permitted for events.
The Bergen County Department of Parks operates over 9,000 acres including Van Saun, Overpeck, Saddle River, and Darlington Provincial Park. Park rules adopted by the Bergen County Parks Commission set standard hours of dawn to dusk, with extended hours for permitted events, ice rinks, and golf courses. Vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians are prohibited in parks after closing. The Bergen County Police Department enforces park closures under N.J.S.A. 40:37-95.1. Some facilities such as the Bergen County Zoo and Van Saun Park have their own posted hours. Camping and overnight stays are not permitted in any county park.
Trespassing in closed Bergen County parks can result in citations, fines typically between $50 and $500, and possible disorderly persons charges for repeat offenses.
