At
least $3000 damage has been caused to Landsborough’s Pearce Memorial
Park playing field when the driver of a vehicle went on a rampage at the
sports ground on the night of Friday February 3rd, 2012.
Pearce Park which is on the Maleny side of Landsborough has been the site of many local sporting events, but on this occasion the activity was not authorised.
Those responsible removed safety bollards and then drove through a fence before “donutting” over a large part of the immaculately turfed field causing serious damage to a large part of the playing area.
To leave the playing area they drove through another part of the picket fence that surrounds the playing field.
Cricket matches in the local competition have had to be re-located as the field is damaged to the extent that games cannot be played there whilst it is in the present condition.
Volunteers have now to work hard to repair the surface so that authorised sporting events can continue.
The area is open to view to those travelling on Landsborough Road to or from Maleny at the time that the incident was happening.
Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1300 333 000.
