Flora Street Walkway playpark, East Belfast

A children's play park in East Belfast has been destroyed by vandals, with parts of the area being closed off until further notice. 

It's understood special flooring at the Flora Street Walkway park was smashed and left in an ususable state following the incident on Sunday night. 

It was only completed 18 months ago and was part of the £40 million Connswater Community Greenway project.

The local community group at Connswater says this type of behaviour has been occurring "consistently" over the past week and they're working with councillors and the PSNI to tackle it.
