Park in Clinton is vandalized after renovations
SUMMARY: A bridge at Kids Towne Park in Clinton was damaged, possibly due to horseplay, as the park undergoes renovations. Officials from Clinton Parks and Recreation reported the vandalism and emphasized the need for the community to take pride in the park. The bridge, built after a 2023 vote approving a restaurant tax for park improvements, may take weeks or months to repair. City leaders are also planning to add pickleball courts. Parks and Recreation Director Nunn urged parents to pay attention to their children‘s activities to prevent further damage. Surveillance cameras are in place to monitor incidents.
