The Jesse Stevens Park Pavilion was recently broken into, resulting in damage to the bathroom and kitchen areas.
Vandalism and the destruction of public property are unacceptable. Damage to a community facility can lead to repair expenses and prevent residents from using the property as intended.
However, the incident also raises a separate question: Why is a tax-funded pavilion kept locked in the first place?
Questioning the pavilion’s access policy does not excuse the break-in or the damage.
Residents may still want to know why a facility supported by public money is not ordinarily accessible to the public.
What is your opinion? Should the pavilion remain locked, or should taxpayers have greater access to it?
