Soccer fields destroyed in act of vandalism at southwest Austin park

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:55:48 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- J. Bouldin started his Monday morning walking out onto a muddy, unlevel field to survey the damage that had been done over the weekend. The mangled piece of land used to be lush with grass and hold four soccer fields for the Lonestar Soccer Club, a local youth soccer organization. Now, the field is unusable for the rest of the season. "It's a tragedy," Bouldin, the field manager for the soccer club, said while looking out at the mud. The soccer fields at Circle C Ranch Metro park were the target of vandalism over the weekend. Someone, or a group of people, had moved limestone boulders and railroad ties that surround the park to get their car onto the field. The mixture of heavy rainfall and an erratic driver resulted in a destroyed field with muddy tire tracks weaving throughout the field.
