Police arrest teenager after park vandalism spree
The extra patrols are due to a spate of damage on the park over the last few weeks where young trees and out-buildings have been damaged.
Sergeant Damien Shannon, who is in charge of Safer Neighbourhood policing in the area, said: “We have been conducting extra patrols on the park to try and deter any further damage.

“We are determined to show that such anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated in a park that is widely used and enjoyed by the public.”
