“This isn’t typical vandalism. This is more out of the norm,” said Commander Mark Galvan with the Castle Rock Police Department to Denver7.
In July, vandals caused $11,000 worth of damages to the new concrete-plumbed bathroom under construction at the park.
“They poured some type of liquid down there that was similar to epoxy. Basically down the toilet, down the plumbing of the sink and clogged some of the pipes,” explained Brian Peterson, park planning and construction manager for the Town of Castle Rock to the outlet.
According to Denver7, the damage done included stabbing of the water heater, ripping the water fountains off the wall and destroying them, breaking through a utility door and smashed off the backflow preventer.
While the price tag is steep, the police department is looking for help from the community to help stop the vandals before any more damage is done.
“If you have any cameras that may have caught anything out of the ordinary on those days, please get in touch with Castle Rock PD at 303-663-6100. The department is also asking parents to speak with their children to see if they heard of saw anything related to the damage,” says Denver7.
