Crews were hard at work since Monday cleaning the equipment, with parts of the playgrounds cordoned off. The portable restrooms affected were replaced Tuesday, she said.
“First nice weekend of 2025 and vandals poured motor oil down three slides and targeted two of our temporary restroom units, creating a hazardous situation for children and causing damage to our facilities,” the city posted on social media.
Photos posted by the city showed nearly a dozen empty containers of motor oil left by the vandals. There were nine by the playgrounds and another two elsewhere in the park.
The city just removed security cameras during demolition for the new restroom facility and is urging residents to report any unusual activity at the park around the playground or portable restroom areas to the Springboro Police Department at 937-748-0611.
