Full Breakdown

County parks close nightly: Sec. 40-2(7) bars anyone from being on park land or using park facilities between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., unless the County Parks Department issues a specific permit allowing after-hours use. The rule applies to every county park, since Sec. 40-1(b) states this chapter applies to all county parks, from Plamann Park to the county's river and lake access sites. Anyone found on park grounds after closing without an after-hours permit is subject to the general penalty in Sec. 40-10, enforced under Sec. 1-10.

Violations & Fines

Being in a county park during closed hours without a Parks Department permit is a citable offense under Sec. 1-10's general penalty provision.
