Bellevue Closes All Park Restrooms Early After Vandalism

Bellevue, Nebraska, has closed all city park restrooms about two weeks early after ongoing vandalism, including damage and graffiti at several parks. The closures give crews time to repair and clean the facilities and prepare them for winter; they are expected to remain closed until spring, inconveniencing residents who rely on the bathrooms. The city has spent thousands of dollars on prevention, including nearly $45,000 approved for security cameras at American Heroes Park, and is asking residents to report suspicious activity. In a separate case in Fayetteville, Tennessee, police are seeking information after two public restrooms were vandalized and closed until further notice.
