There's been vandalism at the District of Houston's refurbished duck viewing platform.

Authorities are looking for the person or persons responsible for several acts of vandalism at the District of Houston's duck viewing platform extensively updated and repaired just late last year.

The initials 'MV' and 'LJ' along with the slogan '4 Ever' were burned into the platform's wood construction within the last several days.

"Vandalism not only detracts from the beauty of our parks but also results in unnecessary costs and staff time for cleanup and repairs – resources that could be better spent on enhancing other community services," stated a post from the District May 6, 2025.

The District called the damage "disheartening".

An information sign bearing the same initials of 'MV' and 'LJ' was also vandalized.

Those with information are asked to contact the Houston RCMP, 250-845-2204.
