Remaining in a city park after closing hours without authorization is considered park trespassing under the SMC and can result in various consequences such as a warning, misdemeanor citation, or even an arrest for repeat offenders or non-compliant individuals. In order to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment of the parks, it is important to respect posted park hours and signage.

Officer Leming also urges community members to report any suspicious activity or large gatherings in parks after hours by contacting Crime Check at 509-456-2233. By working together, we can help keep our parks clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone.
