After unauthorized pavilion party, Freemansburg council records grill removal and parks safety concern
Summary
Council noted that police responded June 7 to an unauthorized party at the pavilion; embers and hot grills were found days later near the playground, prompting Council President to authorize removal of the grills for child‑safety reasons. Fit‑Fest was also canceled due to weather.
Council members recorded a parks and recreation update at the June 17 meeting noting two developments: the cancellation of Fit‑Fest because of weather, and a safety incident tied to an unauthorized pavilion party on June 7.
According to the minutes, police responded to a report of an unauthorized party at the pavilion on June 7; attendees were asked to leave and did so after moderate pushback. On June 9 Public Works found grills still hot with embers inside. Because of the safety hazard near a playground, Council President Homer Lorrah authorized removal of the grills. The minutes describe the incident as informational and do not record any additional enforcement action or fines.
The council did not record a new date for Fit‑Fest and listed no further directives regarding the pavilion at this meeting.
