Gate Policy

Gate Policy

The gate policy at SARA Park is established to clarify what items can and cannot be taken out of the park without the necessary paperwork, in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.

Back To All Rules
The gate policy is designed to avoid misunderstandings regarding what will and won’t be allowed out of SARA Park. This pertains to anything purchased or acquired within the gates of SARA Park. The WPA’s intent is not to stop anyone from legally purchasing product on site and legally transporting it off site. Anyone in possession of the proper permits, licenses, and appropriate transportation papers for the State of Arizona and federal regulations for the material in question will be allowed to leave with their product.

The following items will be allowed out of Sara Park without any paperwork:

  • Visco fuse (all diameters)
  • Time fuse
  • All non-mixed chemicals
  • Pyrotechnic comps/mixtures available via mail order without a permit or
  • sold over the counter for consumer use in Arizona.
  • All inert materials (i.e., paper and plastic products; all printed materials, etc.)
  • Black powder (Quantity of one pound or less per day)
  • Sticky Match (and other 1.4s products)
  • Novelty Items
  • Certain marked 1.4G product, see note below

These items are NOT allowed through the gate without proper paperwork:

  • Most Class C/1.4G and all Class B/1.3G firework items. This includes live antique fireworks sold as collectibles.
  • Black powder (quantities greater than 1lb per day)
  • Quick match
  • Stars and live pyrotechnic inserts (whistles, serpents, small insert shells, lance, etc.)
  • Pyrotechnic comps/mixtures not available via mail order without a permit or sold over the counter for consumer use in Arizona.
  • Electric match

Any pyrotechnic item that requires paperwork to purchase and transport outside of WWB will require the same paperwork to leave WWB. As to the inclusion of live antique fireworks sold as collectables, as long as the local, state and federal authorities make no legal and enforcement distinction between these items and other class B and C items, we cannot make the distinction either.

Certain Class C products are permitted to leave the gate. Vendors will place a sticker on product pieces that are permitted to leave the WWB gates.

You may not discharge any firework device in the Lake Havasu area at this time of year.
