Summary
The fire department required a 100-foot closure around the fireworks setup, so the full lake loop, spillway, and Bell Point trail access will be blocked during the show — but the peninsula and back trails stay open. With extreme heat expected, city facilities will act as cooling centers and extra staff will be on hand for breaks.
