Lackawanna County Commissioners unanimously adopted a revision of the county parks' rules and regulations on Wednesday after a citizen questioned the legality of the firearms clause last month. The new park laws, written by the Parks and Recreation Department, took effect May 26 and cover McDade Park, Merli Sarnoski Park, Aylesworth Park and Covington Park, as well as the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour and the Anthracite Heritage Museum. At the next commissioners' meeting two weeks later, on June 9, Olyphant resident Keith MacDonald criticized Section 11 of the rules, which states, "No unlicensed firearms or weapons are allowed in a park without the written permission of the Director."
