Lighting Fires or BBQ is strictly prohibited.

Lighting fires or barbecues is strictly prohibited across all public parks, nature reserves, and open green spaces in Wolverhampton, including throughout 

Wednesfield and Heath Town. The City of Wolverhampton Council and West Midlands Fire Service enforce a zero-tolerance policy on open flames to eliminate the severe risk of summer wildfires. 

Anyone caught igniting a barbecue or open fire in these protected areas faces 

immediate fines and potential prosecution. 

 Enforced Green Space Hotspots 

Patrol teams and park rangers are closely monitoring vulnerable community spaces this June, targeting areas prone to seasonal anti-social behaviour and illegal gatherings: 

Wednesfield Park & King George V Playing Fields

High-priority patrol sectors where disposable barbecues routinely scorch protected park lawns and park benches.

Park wardens are focusing on open grass clearings and play areas to stop illegal fire pits and antisocial gatherings.

Nature reserve
