Vandalism done Thursday night to the bathrooms and tennis court area at Community Park could cost up to $30,000 to fix. The bathrooms will be closed for a week, according to Frank Savage, a supervisor at the Chico Area Recreation and Park District. He said damage included metal stalls ripped from the walls, and dented sinks and toilets.
Metal awnings over benches next to three tennis courts were ripped from their supports. Savage said awnings slightly damaged playing surfaces when they hit the ground, but the courts are still playable.
Police were called to the park by a neighbor at 8:44 p.m. and quickly arrested two of the three juveniles suspected of inflicting the damage.
Both of those under arrest are 17-year-old white males from Chico.
OK...Time to sue some parents and I am not one of those who sues at the drop of a hat! The people of Chico deserve a financial judgement against the parents and the children, unfortunately the law does not allow us to sue the kids too. I just wish such errant parents could join their little monsters behind bars.
