June 1, 2023 – Mariposa County Parks and Recreation report on recent vandalism at the Mariposa Skate Park.

We are very disappointed to report that. the Skate Park was vandalized Friday morning (5/26) between the hours of 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 am. We have reported the vandalism to the Mariposa County Sheriff's Office and fortunately we have surveillance cameras, so we are able to turn over the video clips as well. We will be working with Mariposa County Sheriff's Office and the School Resource Officer to identify the multiple parties involved.

This is disappointing as the Skate Park is a well-loved and often frequented place in the community. We see all age ranges come here to enjoy their time, whether they are skateboarding, riding their scooters, or even using it as a track for an RC car. If this continues, we will have to lock up and close the Skate Park for a time period, which is not what we want.

With that being said, we would like to offer our sincerest gratitude and thanks to the kind human who saw the vandalism and took it upon themselves to cover most of it up. This was done over the weekend on this community members own time and dime. We would love if you would contact our office so we can acknowledge you and thank you for your honorable community service act.

If you have any information regarding the recent vandalism, please reach out to us by calling the office at 209-966-2498 or sending us a Facebook or Instagram message. We will keep your information anonymous.
