Weston, FL Fire Regulations: Fireworks (2026)

Section 100.02(A), the Chapter 100 'Dangerous materials' clause, prohibits anyone other than an authorized City employee or Law Enforcement Officer from bringing an explosive, fireworks, sling shot, cross bow, bow and arrow, or a flammable liquid into a Public Park or Recreational Facility, excusing only fuel used for a barbecue or contained in a vehicle's own fuel tank. Section 100.02(V) then addresses use directly: no person shall use fireworks within a Public Park or Recreational Facility. Read together, the two clauses close off both possession and discharge on Weston park property, from the ballfields and shelters at neighborhood parks to the trails and open space near Bonaventure and the Cleveland Clinic Florida corridor.

Nothing in this chapter reaches fireworks use on private property or in an HOA common area outside the city's park inventory; that is governed separately under Florida's state fireworks statutes and any applicable HOA covenants, not by Chapter 100. Because the park fireworks ban sits alongside the broader dangerous-materials clause, an officer responding to a complaint about firecrackers at a Weston park can cite either subsection depending on whether the person was caught carrying the material in or actually setting it off, and the City Manager's authorization is the only path to an exception, reserved for permitted events rather than personal use.
