Park Rules

The City operates and maintains over 50 parks, trails and recreation facilities throughout the city. Offering everything from playgrounds and barbecues to splash pads and our Provident Skate Park, we believe parks make life better. Park admission is free and the parks are open to the public everyday from 5 a.m. until 10:00 p.m.

In order to maintain our parks, we ask that all rules and ordinances are abided by. The City of Visalia Parks & Recreation Department does not allow:

Fireworks of any type
Radio controlled or non-radio controlled model planes, boats or toys
Hazardous games such as golf, archery, paintball, air gun, sling shot or hardball
Loud music or amplified sound over 60 decibels 
Overnight parking and camping
Operation of a vehicle beyond designated parking areas
Consumption of alcoholic beverages without a permit
Smoking within 25 feet of playground
Open fires; fires are permitted in park barbecue grills only
Commercial activities, except by special permit
All pets must be on a leash
