Walnutport, Pennsylvania — November 10, 2026. A borough legal notice describes proposed changes to the rules for Walnutport’s public parks. The proposal, identified as Ordinance 2026-01, would restrict access between dusk and dawn and bar certain wheeled devices at specified parks. The notice scheduled a hearing for November 5. We have not independently verified whether the borough adopted, amended or postponed the ordinance at that meeting. The restrictions below are therefore reported as proposed, not confirmed current law.
What the published proposal says
At Memorial Park and Walnutport Borough Park, the advertised language would generally prohibit presence between dusk and dawn unless borough council approved an organized event. It would also prohibit dogs, motorized scooters, motorized bicycles, rollerblades and skateboards at all times. At Walnutport Canal Park, the draft provides the same dusk-to-dawn rule and prohibitions on motorized scooters, motorized bicycles, rollerblades and skateboards; the listed canal-park section does not include the dog prohibition. These differences matter when interpreting the proposed language.
What remains to be confirmed
The official legal notice advertised a council meeting for November 5 at 7 p.m. at the borough municipal building, 417 Lincoln Avenue. An advertisement is evidence of a proposal and hearing, not evidence of final enactment. Residents should check the final ordinance text, effective date and council minutes before relying on any new restrictions.
Where residents can check
Read the published legal notice (October 21) and the borough’s meeting agendas and minutes and ordinance resources. We will update this article when an official November 5 outcome is available.
