Redlands, CA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

City Code Section 12.44.250 makes it unlawful to stay or remain in any public park between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. the following day without permission of the Director of Quality of Life (parks). Permission to be present during closed hours is handled under the same standards that govern amplified sound permit decisions and appeals, cross-referenced in Sections 12.44.100 and 12.44.110, meaning the Director's grant or denial and any appeal follow that established process. The Director has discretion to establish seasonal or other adjusted hours of use and operation for parks beyond the base 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. window, and the city is required to post signs at parks describing the permissible hours of use and the penalty for violating them, per the same section.

The curfew sits within Chapter 12.44 Parks alongside related restrictions such as the ban on fires and open camping (Section 12.44.180, repealed 2015) and the requirement that gatherings of more than 50 people obtain a director's permit (Section 12.44.260), so late-night unpermitted gatherings after park closing time can trigger both the curfew violation and, separately, the meeting-permit requirement if the group exceeds 50 persons.
