Restroom vandalized at North Vernon park

The North Vernon Parks and Rec Department, as well as city police, would like to know who is responsible for vandalism at the city park.

Parks Director Chad Speer says that sometime early Sunday, someone went into the men’s restroom at the old concession stand area near Shelterhouse #3. A large rock was used to destroy three urinals and two toilets. During Monday evening’s meeting of the North Vernon City Council, Speer opined that the damage could have been greater, but the rock used in the destruction ultimately got

stuck in one of the toilets.

Speer expects estimates to repair the damage will be ready within the next few days. There’s been no word yet on expected costs.
