DISCOVERY PARK

It
has come to our attention that skateboarders are damaging/marring the
cement walls and benches around the new fountain area in Discovery
Park. Most of their activity occurs after regular work hours or on
weekends.

If you see skateboarders misusing the area, please do not confront them.  Please contact the Purdue Police at 48221 and let them handle the situation.
