Sahuarita, AZ Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

010(A) gives the parks and recreation director, or a designee, authority to set reasonable rules for managing town parks, including designating hours of operation and opening and closing times, which can differ from park to park. Under subsection (B), the director can also close any section or part of a park entirely, or to certain uses only, at any time or on a recurring schedule, whenever the director finds it necessary for public health, safety, welfare, or the park's proper operation. 050(F) makes it unlawful to camp, lodge, or sleep there during those closed hours, with one narrow exception: a person who has obtained a special written permit from the director at least 72 hours in advance may do so.

010, separately defines 'camping' broadly to include placing a tent, temporary shelter, blanket, cloth, or any other sleeping implement on park property to shelter someone remaining there, so the ban reaches more than pitched tents. 030, seize property used in the violation. 010(A) makes any Title 12 violation, including an unlawful curfew or camping violation, a Class 1 misdemeanor, which under the town's general penalty section can carry a fine up to $2,500, up to six months in jail, or both.
