Hello Residents.
 
Last week, mid day, there was a kid, he looks to be around 10-12 years old and was driving a golf cart on Kratz Field. He Was doing circles around the bench near the playground. He hit the bench and damaged the bench. This bent one of the support bars and popped off one of the bench slats. This happened while some of his friends where playing on/near the basketball court. See pictures of the damage below.
 
If anyone has any information, contact me directly at fastfalling79@yahoo.com or (312) 718-0061.
 
Regards,
 
Andrew Gurschick
President, ODHA
