Stuart Park vandalism statement

Monday 22 May 2023

We are disappointed to report that a grass area within Stuart Park has been vandalised overnight.

The deep grooves that have been made in the grassed area to the northwest of the playground have been reported to NSW Police.

Early investigations suggest a vehicle has driven laps on the grass, which has churned up the grass and left deep indentations in the ground.

“This is just wanton destruction of a space that is important to so many people in our community for a whole range of reasons,’’ Wollongong City Lord Mayor Councillor Gordon Bradbery AM said.

“It’s just so disappointing to see the level of damage inflicted by some reckless and idiotic behaviour on the park.

“Someone must know something about whoever was foolish enough to do this. I encourage them to share what they know with NSW Police so that they can fully investigate this vandalism.’’

Council staff will begin to remediate the site tomorrow, Tuesday 23 May, by flattening out the grooves and filling the area with topsoil.
