Pasco parks operate on posted hours, with closure hours and penalties set under the city's park code (PMC 9.100.050, 'Hours/closure'). Posted hours vary by park - for example, Chiawana Park is open 8 a.m. to dusk. Being present in a park during closed hours is prohibited under the park code.
Pasco's parks are governed by PMC Chapter 9.100 (Parks), within Title 9, Peace, Safety and Morals. The code defines a 'Park' to include all City parks, public squares, park drives, parkways, boulevards, athletic facilities, trails, and play and recreation grounds under the City's jurisdiction (PMC 9.100.020). Park hours and closure are addressed in PMC 9.100.050, titled 'Hours/closure - Penalty for violations,' which sets the closed hours and the penalty for being present during closure. Posted operating hours vary by park: the city's facilities page for Chiawana Park, for example, lists hours of 8:00 a.m. to dusk. Other provisions in the chapter regulate posting of signs (9.100.070), restrictions on vehicles (9.100.150), noise (9.100.170 and the noise chapter 9.130.070), littering (9.100.220), and smoking near park shelters, playgrounds, pools, athletic fields, and restrooms (9.100.210). The exact citywide closing time was not available in the fetched sources (the Pasco Municipal Code site could not be retrieved verbatim), so rely on the hours posted at each park and the closure provisions of PMC 9.100.050 rather than a single uniform time. Pasco does not appear to publish a general nighttime juvenile curfew in the fetched sources. To confirm a specific park's hours or the closure penalty, check the posted signage at the park, the City's Parks and Facilities pages, or contact Pasco Parks and Recreation.
Entering or remaining in a City park, trail, or recreation area during posted closed hours is prohibited under PMC 9.100.050, which carries a penalty for violations. Related park-code violations include unauthorized vehicles, littering, prohibited smoking near park facilities, and excessive noise in parks.
