Universal City parks close at dusk or 10:00 PM depending on the facility and reopen at dawn. Entering a closed park is criminal trespass and subject to Municipal Court citation.
Universal City public parks, including the community parks and sports fields operated by Parks and Recreation, have posted hours that close the parks overnight. Most neighborhood parks close at dusk, defined as 30 minutes after sunset, and reopen at dawn. Lighted athletic fields and the main community complex may remain open until 10:00 PM when events are scheduled. After closing, the park grounds are considered closed to the public and entry is treated as a trespass violation under the park rules ordinance and Texas Penal Code 30.05. Activities specifically prohibited in parks after hours include loitering, swimming, boating, fishing, alcohol consumption per park alcohol rules, and gathering in the parking lots. Violators are subject to Municipal Court citations with fines up to 500 dollars and can be banned from parks administratively for repeat offenses. Special use permits for after-hours activities must be obtained in advance from Parks and Recreation. Park roads and pedestrian trails are patrolled by Universal City Police.
