Redding, CA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Shasta County Code Chapter 12.32 (Parks) sets the rules of conduct for county parks. Section 12.32.120 ('Other prohibited acts designated') lists acts that are unlawful in any county park, and subsection (N) establishes the park curfew: it is prohibited to 'remain, stay, camp, lodge, or loiter in any county park between the hours of twelve midnight and five a.m. of the following day,' except that camping may be permitted at parks designated by the Board of Supervisors as camping areas and so posted with appropriate signs installed by the department of public works. The same chapter regulates related conduct - for example, a group-size limit (12.32.040), a park speed limit (12.32.050), restrictions on vehicle operation, dog rules (12.32.090), and prohibitions on damaging facilities (12.32.120). This park curfew is separate from the county's juvenile curfew (Chapter 9.04, 'Unlawful Presence of Minor in Public Place - Curfew Hours'), which applies to minors in public places generally. The park curfew applies to everyone, regardless of age, in a county park. Individual parks or districts may post additional hours; always check posted signs at the specific park and confirm with the Shasta County Department of Public Works.
