The City of Maple Grove sets park hours at 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., and the city directs residents to City Code Chapter 22 (Parks and Recreation) for the full list of prohibited park activities. Outdoor events in city parks must take place within those 6 a.m.-11 p.m. hours unless written approval is granted to extend beyond park curfew. Being present in a park outside posted hours is a violation. Separately, a nighttime juvenile curfew applies citywide under City of Maple Grove Ordinance 20-152, which mirrors Hennepin County Ordinance 16. Under that curfew, the times get later as the minor gets older: children under 12 must be home by 9 p.m. on weekdays (Sunday-Thursday) and 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday; ages 12-14 by 10 p.m. weekdays and 11 p.m. on weekends; and ages 15-17 by 11 p.m. weekdays and midnight on weekends, with curfew lifting at 5 a.m. The curfew applies in public places including parks. Recognized exceptions include being accompanied by a parent or guardian, traveling to or from lawful employment, responding to an emergency, or attending a supervised school, religious, or civic activity. Questions can go to the Maple Grove Police Department or Parks & Recreation at 763-494-6500.
Being in a city park outside the 6 a.m.-11 p.m. hours, or a juvenile being in a public place during curfew hours without a recognized exception, can result in a citation; juvenile curfew violations are handled under Ordinance 20-152 / Hennepin County Ordinance 16.
