Local playground at lake goodwin was burned down

[Isaacm1986]

So, 3 min from my house is the biggest lake in my area. Lake goodwin. They have a county park, with a boat launch at one end of the lake and then on the other end of the lake is a kid's playground with a shallow swimming area and a fun dock the kids can jump off of and into the water. This park is only 2 years old. My 2 year old loves going down there and playing on the play structure.

Well last night, some idiotic person decided to burn it down. caused over 100,000 dollars worth of damage and the county is saying they probably will not rebuild. The swimming area is still open with the dock, but nothing for the younger kids who can't swim yet! The county is offering a $10,000 reward for info leading to a arrest. I think most people who take there kids to the park would rather have that $10,000 go towards rebuilding.

Why on earth would someone do this to a family park! I hope they get caught and are brought to justice!

Here is a link to the news video.

My guess is that it was [bad people]
Western Washington [has bad people], I wish the [locals] in Olympia would [stop bad people] but fat chance of that.......

Edit: cleaned this up as much as possible . . . welcome home JK
