Virginia Beach city parks close at dusk (or posted closing times) and reopen at dawn. The Parks and Recreation Department enforces hours. Persons found in parks after closing may be cited for trespassing.
Most Virginia Beach parks close at dusk and reopen at dawn. Some parks have posted hours that may vary (e.g., Mount Trashmore Park has extended hours). The oceanfront parks and beaches may have different seasonal hours. Vehicles left in park lots after closing may be ticketed or towed. Athletic facilities, pools, and recreation centers have their own posted hours. Special events may extend park hours with proper permits.
Being in a park after closing is trespassing. Vehicles parked after hours may be ticketed and towed. Fines vary by offense.
