Sunrise city parks are open only during posted hours; being present when a park is closed is unlawful under Code section 8-5. The Sunrise Police Department enforces closures, and smoking is banned in designated park areas under section 8-12.
Sunrise Code section 8-5 makes it unlawful for anyone other than city staff on official business to be in a city park or recreation area during hours when it is closed to the public. Each park's open hours are posted on-site and set by the Leisure Services Department, and access outside those hours is treated as trespass. Related rules bar parking in city lots at restricted times (section 8-9) and prohibit smoking in designated outdoor park areas (section 8-12). Permitted events and league play can extend use at lighted fields. Enforcement falls to the Sunrise Police Department and park staff.
Being in a closed Sunrise park is a municipal violation enforced as trespass by the Sunrise Police Department, carrying a citation and a possible second-degree misdemeanor charge under Florida's trespass law for refusing to leave.
