Summary
Plantation's code sets no park closing time. Park hours are set and posted by the department that maintains the park, and staying after they close is trespass on public property under Section 17-5.
Entering upon or refusing to leave any public property in violation of regulations promulgated by the official charged with the security, care or maintenance of the property and approved by the governing body of the public agency owning the property, where such regulations have been conspicuously posted or where immediately prior to such entry, or subsequent thereto, such regulations are made known by the official charged with the security, care or maintenance of the property, his agent or a police officer.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 30 Update 1).
Full Breakdown
Section 17-5 makes it unlawful to commit trespass in the city on either private or public property. On public property, trespass means entering or refusing to leave in violation of regulations promulgated by the official charged with the security, care or maintenance of the property and approved by the governing body that owns it, where those regulations are conspicuously posted or made known to you by that official, an agent or a police officer. So the sign at the park is what carries legal force; the Code of Ordinances itself states no opening or closing hour. Reserving a park area for an event requires an advance reservation from the parks and recreation department.
Violations & Fines
Being in a park after posted hours is trespass under Section 17-5. Code violations with no specific penalty carry a fine up to $500, jail up to sixty days, or both.
