Park workers this morning discovered damage to a restroom at Kahuku District Park — the latest of several city park facilities targeted by vandals this year.

The city said repairs have begun, but the cost hasn’t yet been determined.
Among the most recent incidents of vandalism at city park facilities: portable toilets were torched at Kaiaka Beach Park in Haleiwa; vandals smashed and destroyed a toilet at the busiest comfort station at Ala Moana Beach Park just days after it was refurbished; a sink in the men’s restroom at Fern Community Park in Kalihi was destroyed; and one of three comfort stations at Keehi Lagoon, heavily used by canoe paddlers and other park visitors, was destroyed by fire.

What is wrong with these people…sick puppies that need a little whop-ass!
I really think that part of the problem is that parks are closed at night. So the only people that end up there are people up to no good. I can’t count how many times friends and I have gone out fishing only to be kicked out because the “park is closed”. If we and others like ourselves were actually allowed to stay it’d help to create a disincentive for those up to no good..
I do not understand why anybody would want to do this. Their thinking must be way off. They do not care about something provided to the general public, a necessary facility. They must view themselves with low esteem, they are angry and want to show they matter. They laugh because they think they are smart enough not to get caught. Somehow vandalized public structures is money to their souls. Foolish idiots in my book.
So sad this is what our society is becoming. It all starts at home.

such a bummer- common sense 101 in public schools is lacking.
Definitely a lot of hate here. Why?
City should install stainless steel toilets, urinals and sinks in parks like they have in prisons. Porcelain is easier to break. Stainless steel makes plenty noise, only bent out of shape. All that noise from pounding should attract people in the area. Besides, when these guys get caught, same kine toilets for them in jail.
Let the people of Kahuku handle this. They can fix the problem
I hope that they get caught and the parents get stuck with the bill [assuming it is underaged children and not adults]. The parents will exact there own kind of punishment.
Why don’t they put in the stainless steel toilet and sinks? They are much more difficult to destroy.
Brainless entities!
