Increase In Park Vandalism

Over the last few months, there has been a major increase in vandalism, principally broken beer bottles and cans on the sports courts, in the children's playground, and on South Side terraces, along with damaged playground equipment. And sadly, the newly installed donor recognition circle has been badly burned.

These incidents have been reported to SFPD Northern Station and SFRPD management. Supervisor Stefani's office has pledged support for increased police and SF Park Rangers patrols.

We ask our park supporters to be vigilant as well. Here's how you can help:

• If witnessing vandalism in progress, call the SFPD non-emergency phone number: 415-553-0123

• If reporting evidence of vandalism, call San Francisco Park Rangers: 415-242 6390

• If reporting a physical safety issue or hazardous situation in the park, call 311
