The boardwalk opens at 5 am. All the parks and trails used to - until recently - have a curfew from 10 pm to 5 am.

The boardwalk trail, contrary to earlier statements by city of Austin officials and the expectation of at least one council member, won’t be open 24-7 when it debuts Saturday. Instead, the trail will be closed each night from midnight to 5 a.m. People caught on the trails, in parks or on the boardwalk during a curfew period are subject to a citation and a fine of $180 to $235, parks spokesman Victor Ovalle said.
That five-hour nightly prohibition would align with the recently reduced curfew on an adjoining section of the Butler Hike and Bike Trail — from the boardwalk’s west end to the Pfluger pedestrian bridge near Lamar Boulevard — on the Johnson Creek trail in West Austin, and on the Shoal Creek trail between West Cesar Chavez and West 15th streets.
The rest of Austin’s trails, and its parks, are closed somewhat longer each night, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Austin Parks and Recreation Director Sara Hensley a month ago quietly extended the open period by two hours on the three trails, moving it from 10 p.m. to midnight, and decided on identical hours for the boardwalk when it opens.

Good grief - if you're gonna have a curfew, at least apply it uniformly to cover all the parks and trails. I think it's stupid to have different parts of the trail have different curfew hours.
