Dunedin City Council staff are angry after discovering a large area of the Kensington Oval’s playing surface was vandalised by a vehicle.

It is believed to have happened on Friday night or Saturday morning.

DCC parks and recreation general manager Robert West said council staff would inspect the damage on Monday to see how bad it was, and what would need to be done to fix it.

"We’re pretty disappointed.

"It’s sad that people are damaging community facilities like that, that are used by sports people of all ages."

He said there were several CCTV cameras in the area and council would be checking them to see if the culprit could be identified.

No shortage of idiots in Dunedin...very sad.

No shortage of idiots in any town or city...give the clowns a car and they will swear it's a tractor. Hope the CCTV picks them up and they get to rake and sow the damage.

True, but they tend to be noticed and detained in other towns and cities.

Come up to Waikouaiti to see some real damage from the brain dead types doing their thing on bikes & 4x4s.
Has anything been done about it ? no !
The beach, mud holes on public roads & Crown Land and important mud flats are just part of the open slather approach around this area.
The DCC just pass the buck & the Police just cannot resolve.
Time to crush the louts toys.

Crop circles?
