Third San Jose Park Found Vandalized in Suspected Donut Damage

Officials seek tips to identify those responsible, citing tight budgets alongside repair costs topping $10,000.

Overview

  • San Jose confirmed vandalism at Lone Hill Park, adding to earlier damage reported at Fowler Creek Park and Mount Pleasant Park.
  • City officials say tire marks and muddy divots indicate vehicles drove on the grass and likely did donuts on saturated turf.
  • Repairs for the first two parks are estimated at around $10,000, with costs for Lone Hill Park still being assessed.
  • Police reports have been filed for the two east San Jose parks, with another report planned for the Lone Hill incident as the investigation continues.
  • A parks department spokesperson said the repair work will divert limited resources from routine maintenance and urged the public to share tips via the parks concerns hotline.
