A community park that has been in the city of Glendale’s park system for 62 years and has received everything from donated structures to volunteer hours — not to mention the Guaranteed Rate Bowl game sod — in the past few months is under a vandalism siege.
The city reports O’Neil Park, 6448 W. Missouri Ave., in the Ocotillo District, has been vandalized on five occasions since November, when most of the recent refurbishment took place.
There has been graffiti sprayed on play structures, sports courts and buildings. Basketball backboards have been shattered, and the brand-new Fiesta Bowl Basketball Court that was installed has been burned.
