Lithia Fire Pit Permit

The Lithia Fire Pit is OPEN!

There are two fire pits in Lithia Park. One is currently not available for use and the other is available for use by permit only. The fire pit available for use is on an "island" that Ashland Creek flows around upstream from the Cotton Memorial Bridge. Open flames are NOT allowed anywhere else in Lithia Park.
