The Hermiston Parks and Recreation Department has been forced to remove the picnic tables from McKenzie Park due to repeated vandalism.
The tables have been damaged on a regular basis over the past few months, including being spray-painted, broken, and set on fire. The incessant damage has made them unsafe for use and has cost the city a lot of money in repairs and replacement.
The department is working to find a solution that will allow them to provide safe and enjoyable spaces for everyone. They are asking residents to help keep city parks clean and safe by reporting any vandalism or other issues to their office at 541-667-5018 or the Hermiston Police Department non-emergency line at 541-966-3651.
I have a solution to your problem and it would work and everyone would be happy and be filled else my number is 458-300-6484
We already have the entire police department right there to protect them. It seems like that would be enough.
Please replace them in time for the Juneteenth celebration.
