Showing ordinances that apply to Nelson, NV
Nelson is an unincorporated community (population 22) in Clark County, Nevada. Because Nelson is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Clark County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The park curfew rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Clark County regional parks and trails are generally closed from dusk or 10 pm until 6 am or sunrise. Entering parks during curfew hours is a trespass violation. Posted hours vary by individual park.
Clark County Parks and Recreation operates a system of regional parks, community parks, and trails across unincorporated Clark County, each with posted operating hours. Standard park curfew rules under Clark County Code Title 19 and individual park regulations typically close parks from 10 pm (or dusk, whichever is earlier) until 6 am or sunrise. Individual parks may have different hours posted at entrances and on the Clark County Parks website. Entering or remaining in a closed park is a trespass violation, prosecutable as a misdemeanor. Lighting-equipped sports facilities may have extended hours for organized league play with permits but revert to standard curfew otherwise. Popular Clark County parks include Sunset Park, Wetlands Park, Floyd Lamb Park, Desert Breeze Park, and the multi-use trail system. Skate parks, dog parks, and specialty facilities may have their own posted hours. Camping in non-designated areas is prohibited and is a significant enforcement issue given Clark County population and surrounding public lands. Fires, alcohol (in most parks), and amplified sound after posted hours are separately prohibited under park rules. Park Police and Las Vegas Metro enforce curfew. Juveniles under 18 in parks during curfew hours face combined park curfew and juvenile curfew violations. Trails and open-space preserves have similar hours — the Wetlands Park trail system is typically open sunrise to sunset. State parks such as Valley of Fire, Spring Mountain Ranch, and federal lands have separate rules.
Trespass in closed parks is a misdemeanor under Nevada NRS 207.200 and Clark County Code. Fines typically begin at 100 dollars with possible community service. Combined juvenile curfew violations for minors in parks after hours can compound penalties.
