Vandalism at Warre Rec playground in Ramsgate is likely to cost £21,000 to repair, says Thanet council.
This is in addition to £25,000 that had to be forked out for repairs last October, again due to vandals.
Thanet council says it is now “looking at different options” for play facilities based near Ramsgate Fire Station with the aim of reducing “the likelihood of further vandalism.”
For now, signs have been installed to direct people to the nearest alternative playground at Ellington Park.
Members of the public are asked to report instances of vandalism or anti-social behaviour via the council’s website.
Cllr Steve Albon, Cabinet Member for Cleansing and Coastal Services, said: “I am disappointed that this children’s playground has been vandalised again. The actions of a small minority spoil the facilities for the local communities who should be able to enjoy them safely.”
