Fire Lake Park is the city park at Ivins Reservoir, entered from Highway 91. It is a free, dawn-to-dusk park with restrooms, showers, picnic areas and grass, and it has stricter rules than most other Ivins parks — including a ban on dogs and motorized boats. I'm Robert Bolar, an Ivins-based REALTOR®. This page uses only what Ivins City, Utah State Parks or another official agency has published.

City park rules (Ivins City Code 11.04.101)
These rules apply in city parks and recreation facilities and areas. RecDesk pages for some parks add extra rules, which are noted on those park pages. The published code is current through Ordinance 2026-10 (April 16, 2026). [Ivins City Code 11.04.101]
- Hours: No one is permitted in a city park during the hours of darkness, except in lighted areas designated for extended use, or with written permission from Parks and Recreation. Ball diamond and tennis court lighting must be turned off by 11 p.m. RecDesk lists most developed city parks as open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, and says court lights turn off automatically at 10 p.m.
- Dogs: Dogs and cats are allowed only on a leash and under a person's control. Owners must pick up waste. Livestock and other domestic animals are not allowed, except in parks the city has designated as wilderness parks (the city has not named those parks on its RecDesk park list). RecDesk also says dogs are not allowed on diamonds or playing fields, inside the UNITY Park recreation room, or at Fire Lake Park.
- Alcohol, drugs and gambling are prohibited. RecDesk pavilion and field pages also say smoking and tobacco are not permitted on the park premises.
- Glass bottles may not be brought onto or possessed in any city park or recreational area.
- Camping or overnight sleeping is prohibited without advance written permission. Parking is only in designated areas, and not overnight without written permission.
- Fires only in provided fireplaces or grills, or in a private portable commercial grill the department has approved. Fireworks and explosives are prohibited unless the City Council has given express written permission.
- Groups of 25 or more need a permit at least seven days ahead. Entertainment, demonstrations, concerts or tournaments need a permit at least 14 days ahead. Loudspeakers need written permission.
- Motor vehicles must stay on roads and parking areas; the park speed limit is 15 mph unless posted otherwise.
- Bounce houses, inflatables and slip-and-slides are not allowed in Ivins City parks, according to the city's pavilion reservation rules on RecDesk.
