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.
