Rules & Regulations
Gas Works Park opens at noon on July 4th and admission is free. For the safety of everyone, please leave alcohol, fireworks, pets, barbecues and weapons at home. There is a security check prior to entering the Park and all those entering are subject to search. The park has a brand new irrigation system below the grass, so please do not drive anything into the ground. Leave the tent stakes at home!
Pets
Loud fireworks, lots of people and pets don't make a good combination. For everyone's safety and your pet's comfort, please leave animals at home as they will not be allowed in the park on the 4th of July.
