Vandals hit new Reno park
Tuesday, Oct. 13, 1998 | 10:03 a.m.
They struck over the weekend at John Champion Memorial Park along the Truckee River, uprooting bushes, ripping up irrigation lines and destroying two new trees.
Volunteers built the park in a weekend Sept. 26-27 and Neal Cobb said they can do it again this coming weekend.
It's scheduled to be dedicated Oct. 24 in honor of John Champion, whose tireless effort to preserve the Truckee River ended with his death last October of a heart attack.
