Renton, WA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Renton Municipal Code Chapter 2-9 governing parks establishes closing hours for city parks and recreation facilities. Most Renton parks close at dusk, with developed parks like Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park, Liberty Park, Cedar River Park, and Kennydale Beach Park posted with specific hours typically 6 AM to 10 PM during standard season. Entry into a park during closed hours constitutes trespass under RMC 2-9 and can result in a citation with fines up to $250 for a first offense. Posted signs at park entrances state the specific hours for that facility. Some facilities like the Cedar River Trail maintain longer hours but still close overnight. Park rangers and Renton Police enforce closing hours and can trespass individuals who refuse to leave. Overnight camping, sleeping in parked vehicles, or establishing encampments in parks is prohibited regardless of hours and is enforced under separate trespass and camping provisions. Public events requiring after-hours access must obtain a Special Events Permit from Renton Parks and Recreation. Dogs must be leashed and cleaned up after, and off-leash dogs in parks outside designated off-leash areas are separate violations.
