VANDALISM <br /> AN OVERVIEW <br /> Here is a list of detected vandalism within the past couple of <br /> years. This will give you an indication of what needs to be given <br /> 411 greatest concern: <br /> TREE DAMAGE <br /> - Sawed, broken, chained, driven over trees <br /> - Stolen trees <br /> - Broken branches <br /> - Stripped bark <br /> TURF DAMAGE <br /> Most incidences occurred at Silver View Park. It will be <br /> interesting to see if the pavement and curb make a difference. <br /> PORTABLE RESTROOMS <br /> - Torched at Greenfield <br /> - Turned over - most parks have had this occur. Hopefully the new <br /> enclosures will help. <br /> BRIDGE DAMAGE <br /> - Bridge at Greenfield Park was burned. <br /> GRAFITTI <br /> 111 - Tennis bangboards <br /> - Lambert Park building <br /> - Greenfield play structure <br /> - Silver View parking lot curb <br /> TENNIS COURT <br /> - Broken tennis court meter at Greenfield Park. <br /> VOLLEYBALL COURT <br /> - Volleyball nets at City Hall Park were cut. <br /> PARK BUILDING DAMAGE - Carelessness or intentional <br /> - Tampering with locks. <br /> - Holes in ceiling tile. <br /> - Broken light fixtures. <br /> - Broken windows. <br /> - Broken security lights. <br /> - Holes in doors and walls. <br /> I have attended many conference sessions , workshops and seminars <br /> regarding vandalism. It seems that every city has vandalism, some <br /> worse than others. The City of Mounds View has relatively little <br /> 411 vandalism compared to many cities. I think this is attributable to <br /> the location ot our many small pocket neighborhood parks which are <br /> surrounded by homes and having streets running along at least two or <br /> three ot their perimeters. <br />
