Perris, CA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Park hours and overnight presence are governed by Chapter 7.22 (Use of Park and Recreation Facilities). Section 7.22.040(10) (Prohibited presence) states that no person shall tent, camp, lodge, or otherwise be present in any park or recreation facility after 11:00 p.m. or before 6:00 a.m., except when lawfully in attendance at an event approved by the city manager, and that loitering between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. is strictly prohibited. The same chapter (Sec. 7.22.040(9)) bars fires in parks between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. except by written permission. Posted hours of operation may also apply and are subject to change without notice. Layered on top of the park-hours rule is the city's general minor curfew in Section 9.28.040: no minor (a person under 18) may loiter, wander, stroll, or remain on any public street, road, alley, park, playground, building, or other public ground between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., unless accompanied by a parent, guardian, or authorized adult, or on an emergency errand or legitimate business. Parents who knowingly permit such a violation are also responsible under Section 9.28.050. So a minor in a Perris park is subject to the earlier 10:00 p.m. curfew, while adults must leave parks by 11:00 p.m. under the park-facilities rule. A violation of Chapter 9.40 (public property) is a misdemeanor; yard/park-rule violations are enforced by police and code enforcement.
