General Park Information

Park hours are 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

Park noise: Keep the volume of your music and voices to a reasonable level. City code (Sec. 146-1802) limits residential sound levels to 55 decibels during the day which, for example, is the sound of a normal conversation. After 9 p.m., the level drops to 45 decibels. Please be considerate of park neighbors and other park users.

20 of the city's parks have reservable shelters with grills. All other shelters are free and first come, first served during park hours. Reserve shelters online.

Fires are permitted only in designated grills and personal grills. Portable charcoal grills can be used on dirt, concrete or an asphalt area. Grills cannot be used on any grass areas.

Feeding wildlife, including geese, is not allowed and can harm the animal.

Pets must be leashed and under control along trails and in parks, except at a dog park. Be sure to practice Park Pet Etiquette. Pets are not allowed in baseball/softball complexes.

Dog owners must promptly dispose of their pet's waste.

Keys for tennis courts can be purchased for $5 at ACAA, Expo, Meadowood, Utah Pool and the Recreation Registration main office, 1st floor of the Aurora Municipal Center, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway.
