Full Breakdown
Under Sec. 70-2 of the Code of Ordinances, every city park and recreational facility in Mission must be open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily, meaning the grounds are closed to the public outside that window. The curfew doesn't apply to activities the city itself sponsors at its parks, or to a group that has obtained a city manager permit under Sec. 70-3 covering different hours. It also doesn't reach indoor facilities like the Mission Community Center, Mission Service Center, or Kika de la Garza building, which are governed by their own separate use rules even though they sit inside park property.
Violations & Fines
Being in a city park after 10:00 p.m. or before 6:00 a.m. without a Sec. 70-3 permit or city sponsorship violates Sec. 70-2. Sec. 70-9 sets the penalty for any violation of this article at a fine of not less than $1.00 and not more than $200.00.
