Tigard does not set a single citywide park closing hour in code. Park rules are governed by TMC Chapter 7.52 (Park Property Use) and TMC Chapter 7.58 (Rules of Conduct on City Property), and specific closing hours for individual parks are posted on park signage by the Public Works Director. Minors in parks remain subject to the city's juvenile curfew under TMC Chapter 7.44 β 9:15 or 10:15 p.m. depending on age β regardless of the posted park-closing time.
Tigard's park rules sit in TMC Chapter 7.52 (Park Property Use) and TMC Chapter 7.58 (Rules of Conduct on City Property). Chapter 7.52 governs equal access to public parks and prohibits walking, riding, or driving in portions of a park that are closed to public travel or behind barriers. Specific operating hours are not codified for each park; instead, the Public Works Director sets and posts hours and closures by park. Chapter 7.58 covers conduct on all city property, including parks, and authorizes exclusion from city property as a remedy for violations. Smoking is prohibited in all parks, fires are limited to designated barbecue stands or fireplaces, and sales or vending require an approved special-event permit, facility rental, or director's authorization. For minors specifically, the parks are explicitly listed as a public place where the juvenile curfew applies under TMC Chapter 7.44 β under 14 must be out by 9:15 p.m. (10:15 p.m. before non-school days), and 14-17 by 10:15 p.m. (midnight before non-school days), regardless of any later posted park-closing time. The general noise nuisance rule at TMC 6.02 Article V also applies to parks: sound that is unnecessarily loud at 100 feet within a park, street, or other public place is prohibited at any hour. Violations of Chapter 7.52 are punishable by a fine of up to $500.
Park rule violations under TMC 7.52 are enforced by Tigard Police and Tigard Park Patrol staff, with a maximum fine of $500. Persons who repeatedly violate park rules may be excluded from city property under TMC 7.58. Minors in parks past the citywide juvenile curfew under TMC 7.44 are subject to that chapter's enforcement (police custody and release to parent/guardian, plus the adult Class C misdemeanor for permitting under TMC 7.44.020). Camping in city parks or other city property is separately prohibited under TMC's Prohibited Camping provisions.
