Roseville, MN Fire Regulations: Fireworks (2026)

Section 701.03 lists the regulations that apply in all Roseville parks, and subsection (2) pairs two bans. No person can discharge any firearms or air guns, and no person can discharge or display any fireworks unless a permit is obtained from the city manager. The permit is the only exception the subsection prints.

Section 701.01 defines a park as any city owned or operated public park, open space, playground or golf course, so the permit requirement reaches every one of those places and not only the ball fields. The text of § 701.03(2) prints no application form, fee or deadline for the city manager's permit.

Fireworks are not the only fire-related limit in a park. Subsection (1) says no person can light or make a fire except in places provided for such purposes. Subsection (13) closes city parks between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. unless otherwise posted, and no person can remain, and no motor vehicle can be left in the park, between those hours unless special permission has been granted by the director of parks and recreation. Subsection (2) says nothing that loosens the closing hours in subsection (13).

Roseville's fire prevention chapter touches fireworks separately. Under § 902.03(a), a permit from the fire chief is required to conduct a list of activities, and item (9) reads "Fireworks, display and sale as permitted by state statute." Subsection (b) of that section requires a fee as established in section 901.05 to be paid for each permit required by the section, and a plan check fee as authorized in section 901.05 is also required.

Because § 902.03 points to state statute for what is permitted, this page quotes only the local park provision and does not restate state law.
