"I'm terribly disappointed that someone would so callously cause so much damage to the Town's flagship park," said Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Director Ruben Wall. "Our park maintenance staff take great pride in maintaining all our parks, so this malicious act will not be taken lightly."
Wall says the Town will likely spend thousands of dollars to repair the damaged turf. Some of the affected areas may have to be closed while repairs are made.
