Park Concession Stands Vandalized Over the Weekend

December 7, 2020 - Sometime over the weekend two of the Center City Park concession stands were vandalized.

The new Center Soccer Complex which just opened up in October with new fields and a concession stand was one of the broken into properties. Jason Mitchell, City of Center Parks and Recreation Director, advised the break-in at the concession stand occurred sometime after 12 on Saturday and was discovered Monday morning.

The Soccer concession stand metal roll up door appears to have been damaged when a golf cart located beside the building was pushed and rammed into the door to gain access. All that was taken was a container of ring pops. The damage to the door was significant.

The second location was the Girls Softball Complex where the concession stand was also broken into and vandalized. The metal roll up window cover was lifted and a small window broken to gain access. Two freezers were left open and a box of food was left on the counter and defrosted.

The Center Police Department is investigating both incidences.
