Construction fence damaged at site of Kincardine Lions Splash Pad

The Kincardine and District Lions Club is upset that, during the Victoria Day holiday weekend, someone knocked over and damaged the construction fence at the site of the Splash Pad, beside the Davidson Centre in Kincardine.

Public relations chairman, George Ling, says the club has been working diligently for the past few years to raise funds to install the Splash Pad in Lions Park, with the aim of making the park a "premier destination for families" and attracting people to the community.

Unfortunately overnight May 15-16, "some thoughtless, immature vandals decided to knock over and extensively damage the construction fence which is surrounding the work area," says Ling. "Those responsible broke, jumped on and bent several sections of fencing and left the site in a mess. Employees were called out on a holiday weekend to re-erect the fence and secure the site. This was a completely unnecessary act and has resulted in an unanticipated expense"

 

If anyone happened to be in the area on the evening of May 15-16 and saw anyone or anything suspicious, contact any Lions Club member, the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers of Grey-Bruce at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
