Summary

Maui County closes every county park and recreational facility to the public between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. under Maui County Code section 13.04A.070(B)(1). The ban applies island-wide, from Kahului to Lahaina to Kaunakakai, unless a permit or lease authorizes after-hours use, and violators face a fine of up to $500 under section 13.04A.270(B), enforced by park security officers, department personnel, and the Maui Police Department.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Maui County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

Except as otherwise authorized by permit, license, lease, or contract issued in accordance with this code, within the limits of any park or recreational facility, it is unlawful for any person to:1.Be present during designated closed hours for that park or recreational facility, or between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., or when closed to the public under section 13.04A.040(B)(1), except as authorized under chapter 10.76. ...

Violations & Fines

Being in a Maui County park between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. without a permit is a standalone offense punishable by a fine of up to $500 under section 13.04A.270(B), separate from the $150-to-$500 range that applies to most other park-rule violations under section 13.04A.270(A). Police officers and park security officers may issue an on-the-spot citation, or first give a written 24-hour trespass warning under section 13.04A.260; returning before that warning expires becomes a petty misdemeanor punishable by up to $1,000 and 30 days in jail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I be in a Maui County park after 10 p.m.?
No. Section 13.04A.070(B)(1) of the Maui County Code makes it unlawful to be present in any county park or recreational facility between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. unless a permit, license, lease, or contract specifically authorizes after-hours use. The rule applies the same way at every county park, from Kanaha Beach Park on Maui to Papohaku Beach Park on Molokai.
What happens if I'm caught in a park after curfew?
A police officer or park security officer can cite you on the spot for a fine of up to $500 under section 13.04A.270(B), or issue a written warning giving you 24 hours to stay away under section 13.04A.260. Returning to the park before that warning expires turns the offense into a criminal trespass, a petty misdemeanor punishable by up to $1,000 and 30 days in jail.
Is the camping curfew the same as the general park curfew?
No, camping areas have their own earlier curfew. Section 13.04A.230 allows only people with a valid camping permit to enter or remain in a designated County park camping area between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., an hour earlier than the general 10:00 p.m. park closing time set in section 13.04A.070(B)(1).
