Five Rivers MetroParks, the county park district, closes to the public at night. Most parks are open 8 AM to 10 PM from April 1 to October 31, and 8 AM to 8 PM from November 1 to March 31. No vehicles may remain when a park is closed.
Unlike ADU, sign, and lighting rules, park hours are a genuine county-level matter in Montgomery County because Five Rivers MetroParks operates as a park district under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1545 and has adopted its own Code of Ordinances. Per the district, most parks are open 8 AM to 10 PM from April 1 through October 31, and 8 AM to 8 PM from November 1 through March 31; hours are sometimes extended for activities such as night fishing, and some parks (like RiverScape) keep year-round hours. Traffic Code Section 73.04 states that no person shall leave a vehicle in a park during the hours when a park is closed. Dogs must be leashed on a leash no longer than
Remaining in a Five Rivers MetroParks park after posted closing hours, or leaving a vehicle in a closed park, can result in ejection or citation by park rangers and enforcement under the MetroParks Code of Ordinances (general penalty, Section 10.99).
