According to a post on the The City of Early Facebook page, there has been an increase in vandalism at McDonald Park over the last few months. If you have noticed that the bathrooms have either been locked or paper products removed, it is because someone continues to place handfuls of towels in each of the toilets. There has also been incidents of smearing soap across the entire bathroom as well.

The city of Early says it needs everyone’s help to report this kind of activity if you see it. They have no choice but to limit access to these amenities if the vandalism continues.
