Unfortunately, we had another incident of vandalism at the park last weekend – motorcycles tore up the ballfield again just in time for the Gold Rush Days ball tournament – a huge thanks to the volunteers and players who repaired it before the games started. Tracks were also noted running through the recently rebuilt volleyball courts and the under construction bike park.

The photos (we have the high-res images) show that we had some late night motorcycle visitors around 2:00 AM over the weekend, if anyone recognizes them or knows their parents, please inform them that the motorized vehicles are NOT permitted in McDonald Sports Park and that additional security cameras will be added to the park in the near future.
