Atlantic City parks and playgrounds are supposed to close and be locked at 10 p.m., but residents have complained at recent CitiStat meetings that lights stay on and noisy basketball games continue into the early morning hours. According to the Press of Atlantic City, signs have now been installed at playgrounds in Brown’s Park and Venice Park, stating the parks close at 10 p.m.
City officials also said they are consulting with Atlantic City Electric to see whether the lights at the parks can be wired separately from the streetlights, so they can be turned off at 10 p.m. Currently they stay on as long as the streetlights.
