PARD lifts burn ban
Thursday, February 4, 2021 by Tai Moses
The beginning of February has brought cooler temps and rainfall to the region, leading the Austin Parks and Recreation Department to lift the burn restrictions that have been in effect in all Austin parks, greenbelts and preserves. Grills, fire rings and propane stoves may be used in designated picnic areas. As always, smoking is prohibited in all city parks.
