Arson in Hoover Park, Midtown Palo Alto



There was a fire in Palo Alto's Hoover Park yesterday.  The play structure in the back of the park next to the skateboard rink was set on fire and one of the redwoods next to it was charred.  As of this morning the Palo Alto police said it was arson. The structure has been taped off, but a chain link fence will go up soon to make sure no one is hurt.

It is not known who the arsonist is but my guess is that some kids playing with post 4th of July fireworks may have done it, or maybe a cigarette.

The representative from the Palo Alto parks department said they would probably have to get donations to replace the structure, which is not an inexpensive thing to do.  I will keep you posted.
