Summary

Woodbridge Township closes every park at sunset and reopens at sunrise under the Parks Department's rules. Anyone still on park property after closing time and before the next opening is treated as a trespasser, exposing them to arrest and prosecution.

Closing Hours. All parks will close at sunset, except where specific closing hours as defined by the Weather Bureau for the New Brunswick area are designated. Any person who remains on park property after the Closing Hours, and before the Opening Hours as defined in this Section, shall be considered a trespasser.

Full Breakdown

S. Weather Bureau for that same area, unless different hours are posted by sign. The ordinance does not create a flat clock-time curfew; instead it ties closing and opening to sunset and sunrise, so the exact hour shifts through the year, and the Township can override the default by posting signage at a specific park. 6. 10b. Rules that are not separately codified as ordinances can instead be enforced administratively by the Department of Parks and Recreation. Because the after-hours trespass rule sits inside the same section as the park's other prohibited-use clauses (no explosives, no unauthorized fires within ten feet of a tree, no firearms), an officer who finds someone in a closed park can cite the same closing-hours language that governs those other violations.

Violations & Fines

Being in a park after the posted or sunset closing time and before sunrise is trespassing under Section 14-1.6h. Codified park-rule violations are prosecuted in Woodbridge Township Municipal Court by the Police Department; non-codified rule violations can instead be handled administratively by the Department of Parks and Recreation under Section 14-1.10.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time do Woodbridge Township parks close?
Parks close at sunset under Code Section 14-1.6h, unless a specific closing hour has been designated for the New Brunswick weather area. They reopen at sunrise unless signs post different hours.
What happens if I'm still in a park after closing?
Section 14-1.6h states that anyone remaining on park property after the closing hour and before the opening hour is considered a trespasser, which can lead to police enforcement and prosecution in municipal court.
Is the park curfew a fixed clock time?
No. The ordinance ties closing to sunset and opening to sunrise as defined for the New Brunswick weather-reporting area, so the exact hour changes seasonally unless the Township posts a specific time by sign.
