Oakley, CA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Oakley maintains numerous public parks including Creekside Park, Nutcracker Park, Laurel Ballfields, Live Oak Park, and others under the Oakley Parks and Recreation department. Standard park hours are dawn to dusk or specifically 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with exact hours posted at each park entrance. Parks with lighted athletic facilities may have extended hours during permitted league play (typically until 10:00 PM or 11:00 PM). Under Oakley Municipal Code Title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks, and Public Places), it is unlawful to enter or remain in a city park after posted closing hours or before opening hours without a special event permit. Violations are typically infractions with fines of $100-$500, though officers may begin with warnings. Prohibited activities in parks at any time include: alcohol consumption (except at designated venues with permits), smoking in most parks per California smoke-free policies, commercial activities without permits, amplified sound without permits, glass containers, motorized vehicles off designated roads and parking, unleashed dogs outside designated off-leash areas, fires except in provided grills, overnight camping, and fireworks. Park reservation for group events (15+ people) requires advance booking through the city. Skateboarding is prohibited on park structures, benches, and non-designated surfaces. After-hours park use for protests, vigils, or First Amendment activities may be accommodated through special permits. Oakley Police patrol parks regularly.
