Pro Tips for a Smooth & Memorable 4th

Arrive early to avoid traffic congestion, and consider using ride-sharing or carpooling when possible. Parking spots fill up quickly, and rideshare drop-off zones are often closer to the destination than general parking lots. Don’t forget to pack sunscreen, water bottles, and lightweight blankets for comfort.

 

Respect park rules and local ordinances—Chandler has strict regulations regarding the sale, use, and safety of fireworks. Take time to review and follow these rules and other applicable laws. Check the events calendar for the most up-to-date information, then start planning your star-spangled trip for an unforgettable 4th of July adventure.
