"Party Time" at World Series Park in Saugus On Friday night, August 11, approximately 30 young people, boys and girls, decided
to party at World Series Park located behind the Belmonte Middle School in Saugus.
They tore down a downspout, tried to force their way into the building by kicking and ramming two doors, broke glass liquor bottles in the parking lot, strewed beer cans
in the pavilion and the surrounding area, overturned trash barrels, and broke into
a dugout and onto the playing field.This happened from 11:30 pm to 12:15 am. All of this was either found by park superintendent Bob Davis Saturday morning
or shown on surveillance tape.The tape has been turned over to the Saugus Police Department to help identify the people involved. Bob Davis said “Viewing the tape made me sick to my stomach.To have all the work that’s been put into making World Series Park a first-class baseball facility disrespected
like this is disgusting.I just hope the police can identify those involved and prosecute them.”
Two signs are prominently displayed at the park.They clearly spell out what’s expected of intruders after dark.One reads: “Warning: All activities are recorded to aid in the prosecution of any crime committed against this facility.”The other refers to a Town of Saugus bylaw and states:“No trespassing:Any person who loiters or habitually congregates in any school yard, park, playground, bike or walking path between
sunset and sunrise shall be considered a trespasser and may be arrested without
warrant. Town of Saugus Bylaw 602.12”
Davis stated “The activities shown on the surveillance tape and the evidence that was
left behind clearly shows attempts of breaking & entering and destruction of property
by those individuals present Friday night.This kind of destructive activity should not be tolerated.It only effects and destroys good things that are happening in our town such as World Series Park that has become a showplace and provides a first-class
facility for the youth of Saugus to play baseball.It’s ironic to see young people come into the park and try to destroy what’s been created for them.”
If you have any information regarding this incident, please report it to the Saugus Police.
