Councillor calls out vandals who damaged playground, baseball diamond

MIDDLESEX COUNTY, ONT. -- City of London Councillor Elizabeth Peloza expressed her disappointment after damage to White Oaks Park.

In a tweet posted Monday morning, Peloza shared photos of the damage.

Someone reportedly set fire to the playground equipment while an ATV was used to damage the baseball diamond's playing field.

While many in the #ldnont community pull together, the actions of a few are very disappointing. Recently, youth set fire to the playground equipment at White Oaks Park and the following night a group gathered with their vehicles and watched a 4 wheeler tear up the ball diamond.1/ pic.twitter.com/c2pOT0WxHi
