Tehama County, CA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

The zoning provisions in Tehama County's Title 17 govern where parks and recreation uses are allowed, not their hours of operation. Public parks, playgrounds, and recreation areas are listed as permitted uses in the PA Public Agency District (Section 17.46.020(A)) and in the G-R General Recreation District (Section 17.32.020(A)), and recreation, refreshment, and service buildings in public parks are allowed generally under Section 17.08.010(B). None of these sections imposes a curfew or set closing time. Operating hours and any overnight closure for County-operated parks and recreation areas are set administratively by the agency that manages the park (for example, posted park rules and the County's public-works or parks regulations) rather than by the zoning ordinance. As a related reference point for night-time activity, the zoning code does set quiet hours of 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. for bed-and-breakfast guests under Section 17.08.010(J)(4)(b), and limits exterior agriculture-tourism activities to between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. under Section 17.81.060(D), but these apply to those specific commercial uses, not to public parks generally. To confirm the hours and any curfew for a particular park, check the posted signage at the park and contact the relevant County department; state and federal parks within the county set their own hours.
