Q: What are the restrictions on where they can be used?

• They cannot be ignited or discharged on a public or private property without express permission of the property owner.
• They cannot be discharged from or within a motor vehicle or building.
• They cannot be discharged toward a motor vehicle or building.
• They cannot be discharged within 150 feet of an occupied structure, whether or not a person is actually present.
• They cannot be discharged while the person is under the influence of alcohol, a controlled substance, or another drug.

Also, it is recommended that you check with your local municipality, as you may also be subject to applicable local ordinances

I do not think that anyone would be given express permission to ignite or discharge fireworks after dark at Lake Carnegie in Highland Park. I will be making some phone calls on Monday. Any complaints or comments to 311 would be appreciated. 

Thanks,
