WATERTOWN, S.D.–The Watertown Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department is addressing what they say has been, “continuous vandalism” at city parks that’s been occurring on a, “regular basis.”
Facilities Maintenance Manager Matt Brandsrud talked about it with KWAT News…
He says each time a park is vandalized, city staff have to go out and repair it or clean it up…
Brandsrud says park and rec has purchased and installed surveillance cameras in an attempt to catch those responsible…
The money to purchase the cameras came out of the park and rec budget…
The department spent about $400 to purchase the cameras.
