Safety Harbor parks are open to the public every day of the year, but only during daylight hours -- each park's exact operating hours are set and posted by the director of leisure services.
Except for unusual and unforeseeable emergencies, the park areas are to be open to the public every day of the year during the hours of daylight. The operating hours for each individual park shall be established by the director of leisure services and shall be posted therein for public information.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 65 | Land Development Code: Supplement 20).
Full Breakdown
City Code Sec. 16.05 closes Safety Harbor's park areas to the public outside daylight hours, with a narrow exception for unusual and unforeseeable emergencies. The director of leisure services sets and posts the specific operating hours for each individual park on-site, so the actual closing time is whatever is posted at that particular park rather than one citywide clock time. The rule sits inside Chapter 16's broader park regulations, which also cover vehicles, pets, projectiles, alcohol, and horseback riding on park property.
Violations & Fines
No specific fine is listed under Sec. 16.05 itself, so it falls under the Code's general penalty, Sec. 1.12: a fine up to $500, up to 60 days imprisonment, or both, with each day of a continuing violation a separate offense.
