Summary

Twin Falls County does not set fixed park hours in its code. Instead, County Code section 5-7-2.E lets the parks and recreation director regulate the hours of public usage at any county park facility, subject to Board of County Commissioners approval, with the regulations and any restricted hours posted at each park facility.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Twin Falls County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

1. Regulations and capacities for each park facility shall be posted in appropriate places at park facilities. Illegibility of molested signs shall not render regulations unenforceable. ... ... 1. The director may regulate the hours of public usage at any county park facility, based on approval of the county commission. ... ... 1. Any person who shall omit, neglect or refuse to obey any act required in these provisions shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined as provided in section 1-4-1 of this code.

Full Breakdown

Twin Falls County Code section 5-7-2 gives the county parks and recreation director, not a fixed ordinance schedule, control over county park facilities. Under subsection E, the director may regulate the hours of public usage at any county park facility with the Board of County Commissioners' approval, and may separately regulate vehicle speed with the county sheriff's approval, and post caution or parking-restriction signs as needed. Subsection D requires that regulations and capacities for each park facility be posted at the facility, and states that an illegible or vandalized sign does not make the underlying rule unenforceable; anyone wanting a variance from posted regulations, or appealing one of the director's decisions, takes that request to the county commission at the courthouse in Twin Falls.

The same section also governs group events: no admission fee may be charged for a county park event, groups exceeding posted capacity need a designated local sponsor and, at the board's discretion, a bond, and attendance may never exceed the posted capacity by more than 100 percent. 00 infraction plus court costs and towing applies specifically to posted parking violations.

Violations & Fines

Ignoring posted park hours or other posted park rules is a misdemeanor under section 5-7-2.F, fined as provided in section 1-4-1 of the county code. A vehicle parked in violation of posted restrictions, including blocking an emergency lane, is a separate $100.00 infraction and may be towed at the Sheriff's Office's request, with the owner responsible for towing, mileage, and storage fees.
