Kids Towne Park Bridge Vandalized
October 22, 2024
This is not a Halloween decoration. One of the newly repaired bridges in Kids Towne Park was recently vandalized, following last year’s efforts by our Parks and Recreation Department to improve safety and enhance play areas for all. The bridge, part of a series of upgrades aimed at making the park more accessible and enjoyable, was damaged due to the reckless actions of an individual or group.
In 2022, citizens voted to approve a 2% restaurant tax specifically to fund improvements in our city parks. With many exciting projects already underway thanks to these funds, it’s more important than ever to protect these spaces from harm.
Our parks are meant to be safe, welcoming environments for everyone to enjoy. We ask for your help in keeping them clean, beautiful, and free from vandalism. If you see any suspicious activity, report it to local authorities immediately. Any damage to park facilities can be reported directly to Courtney Nunn, Director of Parks and Recreation.
The Parks and Recreation Department is dedicated to maintaining and preserving our public spaces, but they can’t do it alone. Our parks belong to everyone, and it’s our responsibility to protect them.
