The Wakamow Valley Authority is informing residents that the playground at Connor Park will be temporarily unavailable until further notice.

General Manager of the Wakamow Valley Authority, Todd Johnson.

"We're just asking people not to head down to Connor Park and use the playground. There was an accident there on Saturday night and some of the playground equipment was damaged and it is no longer usable."

Johnson says they aren't sure yet what the extent of the damage is.

"We're still waiting to hear back. We've got three pieces of equipment damaged but we're not sure of the extent of the cost, or the extent of the damage; whether they can be reused, salvaged, or if new equipment will have to be put in there."

The playground was damaged after an accident over the weekend when a car drove off the embankment, landing in the playground.

Police suspect alcohol was a factor.
