Redlands, CA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Redlands addresses being in parks after hours through two parts of the Municipal Code. First, Chapter 12.44 (Parks) governs use of city parks and contains a 'Park Hours' provision at section 12.44.250 that sets the hours parks are open and limits when the public may remain in a park. Second, Chapter 9.24 (Curfew) imposes a juvenile curfew: under section 9.24.020 (Curfew Restrictions) it is unlawful for any minor (a person under 18) to be present in any public place or on the premises of any establishment within the City during curfew hours, and it is also unlawful for a parent or guardian to knowingly permit or, by insufficient control, allow a minor to be present in a public place during curfew hours. The curfew chapter lists defenses, including when the minor is accompanied by a parent, guardian, or responsible adult; on an errand at a parent's direction; attending a supervised school, religious, or recreational activity; or exercising First Amendment rights. Before enforcing, an officer must ask the apparent offender's age and reason for being out. The City has also publicized that, in connection with downtown activities, persons under 18 are expected to be accompanied by a parent after 8:00 p.m. downtown. Because the exact park-closing time and the precise curfew hours are set in the code text and may be updated, confirm the current times with the Police Department or the Parks and Recreation Division.
