Bathrooms at the newer Heights at Red Mountain Park vandalized

The City of West Richland announced Thursday that the restrooms at one of the city's newest parks will be closed til further notice due to extensive vandalism damage. They did not say when it occurred but it's believed to be very recently. The Heights at Red Mountain Park is one of the city's newest facilities, but now the restrooms will be shut down.

Also, extensive damage was done to some of the playing fields at the Bombing Range Sports Complex. Someone in a vehicle did donuts, leaving some significant gouges in the grass. The City supplied a photo, which we have used, but multiple sets of tire tracks have been found.
