Borrowed from our friends “south of the mountain”. This also goes for the residents of Frackville. Our community needs to work together to make the community safe for not only our residents but for any one visiting or traveling through our great Borough. Thank you all for cooperation.

Parents, please take a moment to speak with your children. This type of behavior is unacceptable. Anyone found defacing Borough property will be subject to prosecution.

If you have information about who was responsible for the graffiti on the train at the Memorial Park, we encourage you to contact us—anonymous tips are welcome. We hope this can serve as a learning opportunity, and that the individual involved may take responsibility, potentially by assisting in repainting the train instead of facing criminal mischief charges.

Once again, we ask all parents to talk with their children about respecting public property and the community we share.

Frackville Borough, FBPA and Famous Reading Outdoors Announce Pilot ORV Access Weekend May 30–31, 2026

Frackville, PA — Frackville Borough and Frackville Business and Professional Association (FBPA) is pleased to announce that the official pilot weekend for the Borough’s Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) street access initiative will take place May 30–31, 2026.
This pilot event follows Borough Council’s approval of an ordinance permitting ORVs on designated borough streets under defined safety, licensing, and operational requirements. The initiative is designed to create a controlled, safe connection from the Famous Reading Outdoors (FRO) trail system to Frackville’s business district — strengthening tourism, supporting local commerce, and enhancing the region’s outdoor recreation footprint.
Pilot Weekend Overview – May 30–31, 2026
During the pilot weekend:
• Licensed and properly permitted ORV operators will be permitted on designated borough streets in accordance with the adopted ordinance.
• A 25 mph maximum speed limit and all safety requirements will be strictly enforced.
• Riders must possess a valid driver’s license, insurance, registration, and a valid FRO permit.
• Snowmobiles remain excluded.
The pilot event will allow Borough officials, law enforcement, and FBPA representatives to evaluate logistics, traffic flow, compliance, and economic impact before full implementation.
Downtown Business Engagement: Punch Card Program
To encourage riders and visitors to support local establishments, FBPA will implement a Punch Card Program during the May 30–31 weekend.
• Participating businesses will issue punches to customers who visit their establishments.
• Completed punch cards may be turned in at the conclusion of the event.
• Participants who submit completed cards will be eligible for prizes.
This initiative is designed to drive measurable foot traffic to local retailers, restaurants, and service providers while creating a fun, interactive experience for visitors.
Business Participation
All participating businesses are members of FBPA.

Businesses interested in entertaining riders during the May 30–31 pilot weekend — including offering special events, promotions, extended hours, or rider-focused discounts — are encouraged to contact FBPA at:
[email protected]
Additional information regarding participating businesses, special promotions, event details, route maps, and rider guidelines will be released closer to the event date.

A Regional Effort
The Frackville pilot weekend represents a model that connects responsible recreation with downtown revitalization.
Leadership from Frackville Borough and FBPA view the initiative as a strategic economic development effort that balances tourism growth with public safety and community standards.
Further announcements will be made as the May 30–31, 2026 pilot weekend approaches.
