Proposals for Penn Forest Park by Seth Isenberg The Penn Forest Township park was the major topic of discussion for the June township supervisors meeting. A neighbor across Route 903 notes that the park has “lots of activity late at night,” and
some all-night long. She asked about lighting. Supervisors chairman Roger Meckes explained that the township is trying to get internet installed into the park, so cameras can be placed. Another idea was to install some lighting, at the least at
both entrances. This led to a discussion about the park being used for helicopter landings. The lights would need a switch to get shut off when a helicopter came in for a night landing. See PENN FOREST TWP., page 2
