Play equipment at Victoria Park in Malvern was vandalised overnight between 8 and 9 October.

Play equipment at Victoria Park in Malvern was vandalised overnight between Thursday 8 and Friday 9 October. The multi-play toddler unit and titan spinner were both fenced off and awaiting repairs at the time. The titan spinner reopened the following week, but the toddler unit remained closed for longer repairs.

Malvern Town Council said it was 'sad' to see the equipment vandalised. Following temporary repairs, the toddler play unit reopened on Wednesday 14 October. The council confirmed on Monday 19 October that permanent repairs were planned for later that week and would require the equipment to be closed for approximately 24 hours. A spokesperson said the council was 'hopeful that there will be minimal disruption' despite weather concerns.

Victoria Park underwent major refurbishment over the summer with new equipment installed throughout. The playground had originally been due to reopen at the start of the summer holidays but was delayed until August due to extreme heat in June. The toddler section of the park also underwent refurbishment, with new equipment to be installed in 2025.
