ROH Sec. 10-1.2 prohibits entering or remaining in any Oahu public park during posted night closure hours, with an exception allowing direct traverse of beach parks to reach the shoreline.
Honolulu County closes public parks during posted night hours under ROH Sec. 10-1.2. When signs at the park indicate closure hours, it is unlawful to enter or remain inside during those times. A narrow exception allows the public to traverse beach parks by the most direct route to reach the shoreline, preserving lawful shoreline access during closure. Park rules are administered by the Department of Parks and Recreation, which sets closure hours by park and posts them at entrances. Additional park rules govern activities such as camping, alcohol, and commercial use.
Remaining in a closed park, camping without a permit, or ignoring posted closure signs can result in citations, fines, and removal by park rangers or HPD under Chapter 10.
