Third San Jose Park Damaged by Suspected Donut Driving as Police Investigate

Recent rains left turf soft, prompting officials to warn repairs will divert scarce crews and funds from routine upkeep.

Overview

  • Crews confirmed tire-mark damage at Lone Hill Park in Cambrian after earlier discoveries at Fowler Creek and Mount Pleasant in east San Jose.
  • PRNS estimates repairs at the first two parks at roughly $10,000 each, with costs for Lone Hill still being assessed.
  • The city filed police reports for the two east-side incidents and will submit a report for the Lone Hill case as San Jose police investigate.
  • Officials are asking residents to share tips or camera footage through the Parks Concerns hotline or online portal.
  • Fowler Creek sustained turf and irrigation damage, and the city plans to begin safety repairs at the affected parks early next week.
