Full Breakdown
Sec. 14-64 of the Racine County Code allows entry to county park property only during the hours posted at each individual park, rather than one fixed countywide curfew. The only listed exception is for temporary beer gardens that have been approved in advance, which may operate under extended hours. Posted-hours violations are covered by the same schedule-of-deposits penalty referenced throughout this division (§ 5-3), and the county's parks staff sets and posts the actual opening and closing times park by park.
Violations & Fines
Being in a county park outside its posted hours violates Sec. 14-64 and is subject to the schedule of deposits for violations referenced in § 5-3.
