Vandalism in our Park

UPDATE JULY 18, 2022

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers BJ Jones and your Board member Mike Pierce for repairing and cleaning the bathrooms so they may be re-opened for your use.

***************************************************************************************************************

Due to recent vandalism to the park bathrooms, both bathrooms are closed until further notice.

June 7th – eggs thrown on walk bridge, at the bathroom building and on the road. The boy admitted to it.

July 4th – newly installed motion sensor lights were taken down and tossed outside. The back of one light was found on top of the building and batteries were found outside on the ground. This was both bathrooms. Women’s bathroom also had some small graffiti on wall by sink. Witnesses stated who did it. When asked, he stated the girls did it. This same teen that did this has also been showing violent behavior at the park by threatening others displaying brass knuckles, instigating fights, and making racial slurs.

Also on July 4th, an intoxicated adult had grabbed a male teen by the arm as he came out of the bathroom and dragged him thinking that this was the kid that had done something. He was mistaken. He had the wrong teen. This behavior is not okay. That teen was scared and shook up but is okay. The parent of the teen is trying to contact the man and the police were also notified.

July 12th – newly installed sensor soap dispenser in men’s room was knocked off wall and also cracked the towel dispenser cover. Again, witnesses stated who did it. He denied it.

Law enforcement has been notified of each incident.

Please remember to respect your park. Parents, please speak to your kids regarding respect, vandalism and that it is illegal to deface or destroy property that does not belong to you. These are children of this community that is doing this vandalism. Remember these are the costs your HOA dues are being used to repair, fix, replace. Please use our common areas wisely.

As a reminder, children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult at all times
