    Default Forks Twp. Park rules NO Weapons

    I just noticed this sign at the entrance to Forks Township park, it is also the entrance to the community center, municipal building, police & fire dept. buildings besides the park.
    Where do I start to get no weapons removed? I was thinking about getting a copy of the Ord. 186-189 and reading it first.

    You could contact the solicitor or council members about getting it changed.
