Full Breakdown
West Sacramento Municipal Code § 12.12.030(U) makes it unlawful to remain or loiter in any city park or building between one hour after sundown and six a.m., except as expressly conditioned by a permit. Separately, § 12.12.150(C) bars leaving a vehicle standing in a park during the hours the park is closed, whether or not the park is physically gated. Together these provisions establish an after-dark curfew across the City of West Sacramento's park system, enforced by park staff and police, with narrow exceptions only for permitted evening events such as concerts or reserved facility use.
Violations & Fines
Remaining in a West Sacramento park after the one-hour-past-sundown curfew is a misdemeanor under § 12.12.240(A); leaving a vehicle in a closed park is a fine-only infraction under § 12.12.240(E).
