SOME jerk vandalised the Hyde Park water playground last week, putting it out of commission just as the place gears up for a hot summer.
Excited kids tiptoed across sun-scorched concrete to turn on the sprinklers but were left high and dry and disappointed.
A sensor pad had been smashed with a rock or something similar, and the replacement part required shipping in from the east coast.
It was installed Tuesday and the popular playground is again fully operational.
Vincent CEO Len Kosova says it cost the council $350 for the new sensor and $450 for signs the vandal had also bust.
