Mischief remains an issue in the Palmerton Borough Park.

Councilman Cory Kepner said at last week’s borough council meeting that a large amount of vandalism was done recently to the bandstand in the park.

More specifically, Kepner said there was bicycle damage done to the bandstand, and it’s believed the perpetrators who caused it are from outside the borough.

“As a committee, we’re upset about it,” Kepner said. “It is a very tough and touchy subject for all of us.”

Borough police Chief Tim Kromer noted that per the borough’s ordinance, bicycles, skateboards or scooters are not allowed in the bandstand.

Kromer said that anyone who witnesses vandalism or someone causing damage to the park should call the Carbon County 911 Comm Center.
