The City of San Jose said Wednesday a third city park has been vandalized. That’s three parks now where there appears to be tire marks left on the grass, and the city believes they’re there as a result of a car doing donuts. For two of the parks, they’re estimating it’ll cost around $1 0,000 to make the repairs and they’re still looking at the cost for lone hill park. Meantime, San Jose police say they’re investigating. Families were enjoying their night at Lone Hill Park in San Jose’s Cambrian neighborhood, but right near the playground, there was something no one was smiling about. There were what appeared to be tire marks in the grass. A lot of them. “We think it’s from vehicles driving thru the park and doing what looks like donuts on the muddy grass,” said Amanda Rodriguez, public information manager, City of San Jose, Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services. Lone Hill Park is the third park in San Jose that maintenance crews have discovered damage at. They first noticed the tire marks at Fowler Creek Park and at Mount Pleasant Park in east San Jose earlier this week. The city has so already filed a police report for the vandalism at the two parks in east San Jose, and another report will be filed soon for the third. As police investigate the cases of vandalism, the city’s Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services Department is looking at thousands of dollars in repairs at a time when money is tight.  “When you have a budget that is stretched thin, it’s really devastating when we see this type of deliberate damage happen because it takes resources away from normal park maintenance,” Rodriguez said. Neighbors near Lone Hill Park are also disappointed. They say this is a family-friendly space, and they’re not happy with the damage that’s been left behind. “In an area where children play, people come to their families for barbecues, it’s just, the only word to describe it is obnoxious,” said Donovan, of San Jose. Meantime, the city is asking for help from the public. “We’re asking anybody who knows anything, sees anything on social media, maybe hears anything, to let us know via our parks concerns hotline,” Rodriguez said. ...read more read less
