Full Breakdown
Park hours are a genuine Weld County matter because the county operates its own park facilities under Chapter 17, Article II. Section 17-2-30(B) sets a curfew barring use of the park facilities in any manner after 11:00 p.m., other than permitted overnight camping. Overnight camping requires a $5.00-per-night camper fee paid by 11:00 p.m. and is limited to five nights in any thirty-consecutive-day period. Areas posted as day-use only are open from 6:00 a.m. until sunset unless otherwise posted. County trails carry a separate curfew from one-half hour after dusk to one-half hour before dawn. City parks in Greeley and Evans set their own hours. Check posted signs at each Weld County park.
Violations & Fines
Using a park after the 11:00 p.m. curfew draws a mandatory fine of at least $50 for a first conviction, up to $100 for a second and up to $300 for a third under Section 17-2-40.
