A string of thefts and vandalism has hit local parks. In the last several weeks, a 3D model, an interactive microphone, and two plaques have been stolen.
“To the community, they were a great value, but as far as the street value, as for what you can get when you sell it for steel or something like that, extremely, extremely minimal. Financially for us, it’s a significant impact because we’re going to manage that feature back to its original design,” said Tommy Mitchell, the Watershed Park operator manager for the San Antonio River Authority.
“We don’t take care of the public art in our community, then it’s all going to be locked up in museums and private residences, and then that’s a loss for all of us,” said Frates Seelingson, the executive director for the San Antonio River Foundation. The artist, Adam Frank, said the goal of the piece of art is to grow engagement and perception of nature.The 3D model at Confluence Park is also art with a purpose.
As for the plaques, they commemorate the Bexar County Commissioners Court for funding that helped restore Espada Park.
