As Wichita pools prepare to open for summer, city officials are counting the cost of vandalism during the off-season. Since November, windows have been broken, bathrooms destroyed and graffiti painted on signs at city parks and recreation centers. “It’s been really really frustrating,” said Director of Parks and Recreation Troy Houtman. “It’s been really upsetting that we spent so much time and effort trying to make these pools really nice for the community and it’s just a handful of some really bad actors and you can’t just blame everybody but just a few of them are just making life miserable.”
