North Richland Hills, TX Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Park hours in North Richland Hills are set by the Parks and Recreation Department and enforced by NRH Police. Most neighborhood and community parks are open daily from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Outside those hours, entering or remaining in the park is prohibited unless a special event permit has been issued or a posted sign indicates extended hours for specific facilities. Covered parks include NRH Centre grounds, Linda Spurlock Park, Richfield Park, Tipps Family Park, Green Valley Park, Cross Timbers Park, Walker's Creek, Fossil Creek, and all other public parks. Rules during park hours include compliance with park rules (no alcohol without permit, no unauthorized motor vehicles on trails, leashed pets only, no glass containers, no fireworks). After-hours activities require a special event permit coordinated through Parks and Recreation and may include additional insurance and security requirements. Park curfew violations are Class C misdemeanors with fines up to 500 dollars. Trails and designated trailheads within regional trail systems (Cotton Belt Trail, Cross Timbers Trail) generally follow park hours unless posted otherwise. Dumpsters, restrooms, and sports facilities are locked at closing. Residents can request extended hours for specific events via the Parks and Recreation online portal at least 30 days in advance.
