Sioux Falls parks are closed between midnight and 5 a.m. under § 95.024, which restricts public use to posted open hours. Separately, Chapter 134 imposes an 11 p.m.–4 a.m. curfew on minors in parks and other public places.
Section 95.024 of the Sioux Falls Code of Ordinances (Chapter 95: Parks and Recreation) governs hours parks are open to the public. Falls Park and the Downtown River Greenway from Falls Park to E. 10th St. are open 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight. Other city parks are subject to posted hours and are generally closed midnight to 5:00 a.m. Entering or remaining in a park after hours is a violation. Chapter 134 (Minors) adds a separate curfew layer: § 134.001 prohibits persons under 18 from being in parks, playgrounds, and unsupervised public places between 11:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. the following day. Parents and guardians may be held responsible for curfew violations.
After-hours park presence is a municipal ordinance violation subject to citation. Minor curfew violations under Ch. 134 may result in citations to the minor and civil penalties to parents or guardians for repeat offenses.
