The mayor of Tecumseh is putting the vandals of the town's skateboard park on notice.
Gary McNamara says, while the park has officially reopened, the town is still working with the OPP to take down those responsible for the graffiti.
The facility behind town hall was closed just over a week ago after the concrete ramps were spray painted.
McNamara says clean up cost the town about $4,000.
"I don't know who is doing it, why they're doing it, but the fact is if they're young their parents are paying for it through higher insurance costs and property taxes. When you spend $400,000 on a beautiful piece of equipment and then you go about and deface it, there's something wrong with that."
He says he's confident they'll catch the culprits.
"That populous that utilizes that park itself, for years they've kind of self-policed it. I'm sure they're going to have a conversation because as soon as it opened they were there. They missed the fact that it was there."
McNamara is asking anyone who may know something to come forward.
"We're zero tolerance and council is zero tolerance on this and I think there's a lesson for everybody here. If anybody sees any type of inappropriate activity anywhere in our 50 parks in our community please call the OPP and notify them so we can curb this type of behaviour."
The skateboard park opened four years ago and sees 40 to 50 users per day.
Anyone with information about the vandalism is asked to contact the OPP or Crime Stoppers.
