FRIENDLY 4TH OF JULY REMINDERS
- We strongly encourage parking in the Westmont High School or Westmont Junior High parking lots for the 4th of July Celebration
- No outside alcohol allowed.
- No pedestrian traffic will be allowed from the Oakwood subdivision, school parking lots & Chestnut and Blackhawk Drives into TY Warner Park after 9:15pm.
- Due to heavy congestion in the park, no handicapped transport carts will operate after 8:30pm.
- If you are going to reserve an area we ask that you do not set out a tarp, this kills the grass very quickly.
- Handicapped parking is available at the corner of Chestnut and Burr Oak Drives with additional spots.
- Sparklers are not allowed in the park.
- Event is held rain or shine.
- Pop-up tents are welcome, but please no stakes! All tents and canopies must be lowered by 9:00pm.
