Cave City officials say Reynolds Park on North 1st Street will now close at dark after a series of vandalism incidents at the park.

In a recent social media post, the city reported what it called recurring vandalism at the park and announced an immediate shift to a dark-to-dawn closure policy.

The post urged visitors to be cautious during daylight hours around any playground equipment that appears damaged and is taped off.

They added any equipment marked off with tape should not be used, and asked families to steer children away from those areas for their safety.

The city also apologized for the inconvenience to residents who regularly use Reynolds Park.

Officials indicated the changes are intended to protect park-goers while the city assesses and repairs the damage caused by vandalism.

Cave City is asking anyone who may have information about vandalism at the city park to contact city hall.
