Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation will implement a mandatory burn ban across its park system effective Monday. The ban is due to current drought conditions in Mecklenburg County. It aims to reduce the risk of fire and protect park users, staff, natural areas, facilities, and surrounding communities.

This temporary policy will remain in effect indefinitely. The ban will only be lifted when drought conditions improve, and it is deemed safe to resume normal park use.
