Holes in Champion park spur passage of new law

CHAMPION — Holes found in Village Green Park caused collective concern and a new local law at the Town Council meeting June 6.

"We found someone was up there with a metal detector and was digging around," Councilman Thomas E. Stewart said. "It just wasn't right."

Local Law No. 2 includes restrictions other than digging the park grounds, taking artifacts and using a metal detector.

Included in the 11 activities prohibited in the park are operating or parking an all-terrain vehicle, horseback riding in areas not designated as driveways and using glass containers.
