LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) – Louisville Metro Councilmember Crystal Bast in District 14 is asking for the public’s help after vandals caused significant damage to Sun Valley Park and its golf course.
Sometime Sunday night, people riding four-wheelers drove through the park and golf course, damaging the green. Hole #1 was completely destroyed and will require substantial time and funding to fix. Hole #4 also sustained damage but is expected to be repairable.
The vandalism comes shortly after the city invested funds into improving the course to make it more family-friendly.(wave)
The crime comes shortly after the city invested funds into improving the course to make it more family-friendly. Now those improvement dollars will have to be redirected towards repairs.
In addition to the golf course damage, vandals used spray foam to create swastikas in the parking lot. Crews are working to scrape and remove them.
“There is absolutely no place for that in our community,” Former District 14 Councilmember Cindi Fowler said in a statement. “This should make every one of us angry because it’s our community and our tax dollars that pay the price.”
In response to the incident, officials announced that security cameras are scheduled for installation throughout Sun Valley Park, including the golf course and the community center.
Anyone with footage, witness accounts, or information regarding the individuals responsible is urged to contact the District 14 office to help LMPD with the investigation. Tips can also be left here at LMPD’s tip line.
