Paulding County parks close at posted hours set by Parks & Recreation, and being in a park after closing is treated as trespassing. After-hours presence can be prosecuted as criminal trespass under O.C.G.A. § 16-7-21.
Paulding County's community parks and athletic complexes operate on posted hours set by the Parks & Recreation Department. Entry or use after posted closing is treated as trespassing; the usual exceptions are county-sanctioned after-hours events, reserved rental facilities, and lighted athletic fields during scheduled play. Walking trails often keep their own dawn-to-dusk hours. Once staff or deputies tell a visitor to leave and they remain, it becomes criminal trespass under O.C.G.A. § 16-7-21, a misdemeanor, enforced by the Paulding County Sheriff's Office and county code enforcement. Dallas and Hiram set hours for their own city parks.
Remaining in a park after posted hours is treated as trespassing and can be charged as criminal trespass under O.C.G.A. § 16-7-21, a misdemeanor. Sheriff's deputies and code enforcement handle closures.
