The City of Wichita said that every time it has to make repairs from vandalism, it has to use money that was supposed to go to other projects. It is becoming a more significant concern because of the increase in destruction at city parks. Thursday morning, Troy Houtman, Wichita Parks and Recreation director, said the costs are adding up. For example, someone damaged a control panel at a Aley Park. Part of the panel was knocked off the wall. Houtman said they will have to pay $5,000 to replace it. Vandals also broke into the building at the swimming pool in the Park. They trashed the inside of the place and left behind a big mess.
