Under SCMC 9.12.060, San Clemente municipal parks are closed from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., and municipal trails are closed from sunset to sunrise. Certain parks and trail segments have their own stated hours, and posted notices govern.
SCMC 9.12.060 sets the curfew for municipal parks and trails. As a general rule, no person may remain in any municipal park between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., and no person may be on any municipal trail from sunset to sunrise. Several locations have specific hours: Park Semper Fi is closed from sunset to sunrise, and Linda Lane Park, Parque Del Mar, and T-Street Park are closed from midnight to 4:00 a.m. Appropriate notices are posted to inform the public, the City may modify hours for approved events, and no vehicle may remain in a City park parking lot past the posted hours. Separately, SCMC 9.12.020 bars minors from public places between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
Remaining in a park after 10:00 p.m. or on a trail after sunset, or parking overnight in a park lot, violates SCMC 9.12.060.
