Safety Map for Peachtree City July 4 Fireworks


There will again be a 700-800 feet safety zone established for the annual July 4th fireworks show over Lake Peachtree.

All safe areas will be marked by red or yellow security tape, placed in the area by July 2nd. Even though much of Picnic Park will be affected, the All Children’s Playground will remain open for play until 8 pm. At that time, everyone must leave the safety zone.

The required safety zone also includes specific areas on the water. The Peachtree City Fire Department, Fayette County Marshals office, and DNR will have boats and personnel on the water to monitor the area. Boaters must be able to control their craft to keep from drifting into the danger zone, which will be marked by flotation buoys.

Any violation of the rules will result in a delay of the fireworks show. Also any violators to the safety rules and safety zones on land and water will be subject to police arrest.

The Fire Department also reminds residents that no consumer fireworks are allowed to be used, sold or possessed on any city-owned or controlled property.

Annual July 4th Fireworks Safety Zone and Regulations


The Peachtree City Fire Department has released a map showing the 700-800 feet safety zone established for the annual July 4th fireworks show over Lake Peachtree.

View the map here.

In order to ensure a safe environment for residents viewing the fireworks presentation, a buffer of 700-800 feet in all directions from the area of discharge must be maintained. All safe areas will be marked by red or yellow security tape, placed in the area by July 3rd. Even though much of the Picnic Park area is affected, the All Children’s Playground will remain open for play until 8 pm. At that time, all persons must be cleared from the area, since this is in the safety zone and no patrons can view fireworks from that area, to prepare for the show which begins at dusk. The safe zone is based on the requirements of the fireworks contractor.

The Fire Department reminds residents that no consumer fireworks are allowed to be used, sold or possessed on any city-owned or controlled property.

For more information please contact the Recreation Department at 770-631-2542 or visit our website at www.ptcrecreation.org or on the City website at www.peachtree-city.org.
