Allegedly What May Have Happened: Criminal Damage At Local Park/Baumann Park
Alleged Approx. Location: 300 S Walnut Street/Cherry Valley
Alleged Approx. Time: Unknown
I like many people in our area, absolutely love the beauty of our parks and forest preserves, etc.
What I hate, also like many people in our area, are assholes that ruin these beautiful places, spaces and amenities for everyone.
I happened to notice that the bathrooms at Baumann Park, located at 300 S Walnut Street in Cherry Valley, are now closed, shut down until further notice because of the damages that allegedly occurred overnight or possibly earlier this morning thanks to vandalism/destruction of some type.
Police call logs do confirm that a criminal damage report was taken today, ergo an investigation into this incident is underway with Cherry Valley Police.
