Collier County parks are open every day of the year during hours set by the Parks and Recreation director, and each park's opening and closing times are posted on-site. Being in a county park or beach access outside posted hours is prohibited and enforced under the parks ordinance.
Code of Laws Section 98-59 states that, except for emergencies, county parks are open to the public every day of the year during hours designated by the director of Parks and Recreation, and each park's opening and closing hours must be posted for public information. Most Collier County beaches and parks are posted as open from sunrise to sunset. Section 98-58 lists prohibited acts, including remaining after posted hours, and Chapter 246 gives park rangers enforcement authority. Because hours are posted per park rather than fixed in the code, always check the sign at the specific park or beach access. City parks in Naples and Marco Island set their own hours.
Remaining in a county park after posted hours is a prohibited act under Section 98-58, enforceable as a county-ordinance violation (typically a misdemeanor-level penalty) by park rangers and the sheriff.
