Summary
Marysville Municipal Code § 6.82.040 opens city parks from 7:00 a.m. until 30 minutes after sunset and closes them to the public at all other times, unless the parks director posts or permits otherwise. Knowingly staying in a park after closing without the director's permission is criminal trespass under § 6.82.175(1)(b).
Except as otherwise posted or permitted by the director, city parks are open to the public from 7:00 a.m. until 30 minutes after sunset, and are closed to the public at all other times. ... It is criminal trespass if a person knowingly: ... enters, remains in, or is otherwise present within the premises of a park during hours which the park or portion of the park is not open to the public, unless the person is present within the park with the permission of the director.

Full Breakdown
to 30 minutes past sunset, a schedule the director can adjust by posting different hours or issuing a permit for after-hours use. 180 makes anyone who directly commits, aids, abets, or procures another to commit the trespass a principal under the chapter. 185 lets the parks director or a designee issue a written exclusion notice barring the offender from city parks, on an escalating schedule: up to seven calendar days for a first exclusion (non-weapon violations), 90 calendar days for a second exclusion within a year, and a full year for a third or for any weapon-related violation.
An excluded person can request a hearing before a municipal court judge acting as hearing examiner within seven calendar days of the notice, and can seek judicial review by writ of review in Snohomish County superior court within 15 calendar days of the hearing decision.
Violations & Fines
Being present in a park after the 7:00 a.m. to 30-minutes-past-sunset window without the director's permission is criminal trespass under § 6.82.175, prosecuted separately from the park code's civil infraction schedule in § 6.82.190. The parks director can also issue a written exclusion notice under § 6.82.185 barring the person from city parks for 7 days, 90 days, or one year depending on prior exclusions, with a right to a hearing and, ultimately, judicial review in Snohomish County superior court.
