Toledo city parks are closed from 11 PM to 6 AM under Metroparks and city park rules. Entering a closed park is trespassing subject to citation. Some parks have later closing times during special events.
Toledo operates city parks (Division of Parks, Recreation and Forestry) and is served by the Metroparks Toledo system (separate Lucas County agency). Both have park curfews. Toledo city parks are generally open 6 AM to 11 PM. Metroparks generally open at 7 AM and close at dark or 10 PM depending on facility. Entry outside these hours is trespassing under TMC Chapter 549 and Ohio trespass statute ORC 2911.21. Park rangers and Toledo Police enforce. Vehicle curfew at parking lots also applies; cars left overnight may be cited or towed. Exceptions: scheduled events with permits, fishing at designated 24-hour access points in certain Metroparks locations, trail walking during posted extended hours.
Trespassing in closed park: minor misdemeanor, up to 150 dollar fine. Vehicle after hours: cited, potentially towed at owner expense.
