I think a refurbished of the Bandshell is a great idea you need to bring something back to the park bring people into the park Allison Hill is a bad place to live but the park was always a great place to be I know because I was there in the 70s. The park was the only place where Uptown, Edgemont, Steelton, Allison Hill, Pembrook and Susquehanna Township all got together and didn’t have any problems maybe it can come back
