Prescott Valley, AZ Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Section 10-02-020(A) of the Prescott Valley Town Code establishes the hours during which Town parks, playgrounds or outdoor recreational areas are open to public access: daily, 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. from October 1 through March 31, and daily, 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. from April 1 through September 30. All park operating hours must be posted at the established entrances.

The off-leash dog area is carved out of this schedule. Section 10-02-040(B)(16)(v) says the off-leash area park(s) are open from 7:00 a.m. to dusk, seven (7) days per week, and use after the posted times is prohibited. No one may enter during maintenance or repair closures.

Hours can be extended only upon the express permission or consent of authorized Town officials, and the section adds that in no event shall an extension of park operating hours be construed to extend curfew limits. Subsection B states that the hours do not apply when a person has express permission or consent from Town officials to engage in conduct otherwise prohibited by Section 10-02-010(D).

Section 10-02-010(D) is the enforcement hook: it is unlawful to willfully commit any trespass by entering onto or being within any Town playground or recreational area at any time other than the times established for hours of operation. Section 10-02-030 lets the Mayor or Town Manager close any park to all persons not properly authorized when an emergency exists, for a period not to exceed seven (7) days. Section 10-02-020 was last amended by Ordinance No. 867 on October 10, 2019.
