Port Orange, FL Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Section 50-6 of the Port Orange Code, adopted by Ordinance No. 2016-2 on March 15, 2016, governs when the city's athletic and recreation facilities are open to the public. Rather than setting one uniform curfew hour, the ordinance ties access to whatever hours are posted at each individual site, on the building or at the entrance area, so a resident checking whether a specific park is open after dark must look at that facility's signage. The city also retains broad authority to shut down any section or all of a facility at any time, whether for public interest, safety, or security reasons, or because the space is being used for a city-sponsored program or event; in that case the closure parameters and times are likewise posted on site rather than fixed in the Code.

Once posted hours pass or a temporary closure notice is up, subsection (c) makes it unlawful to enter the facility or remain inside it, covering both late-night trespassers and anyone who lingers past closing. 00, imprisonment up to 60 days, or both, with each day a violation continues charged as a separate offense. 15 for every conviction. Enforcement typically comes through the Port Orange Police Department or code compliance staff who observe someone on park property after the posted hours or inside a posted closure area; the definitions used for the section (athletic facility, recreation facility, recreation department) are drawn from the companion definitions section, 50-1.
