A playpark in East Belfast was forced to close after it was vandalised by a group of youths.
The Flora Street Walkway Playpark closed last week after a group of young people damaged some of the play equipment.
One local resident said they saw the group ripping up part of the soft flooring in the park to throw at one another.

The vandalism of the park has been called "absolutely disgraceful", and people are being asked to call the council or police if they see any further damage take place.
East Belfast Alliance councillor Michelle Kelly said: "It's absolutely disgraceful to see this mindless vandalism yet again, which has happened on a number of occasions over the last while forcing the park to close.
"The play park is a vital community resource enjoyed by children and families who again suffer due to the actions of a few. I’ve spoken to both Belfast City Council and the PSNI over the last few days. Anyone with information, no matter how small, please contact the PSNI."
Following the vandalism the Connswater Community Greenway, which is managed by the Eastside Partnership, issued a statement saying: "Unfortunately, some of the play equipment at Flora Street Walkway has been damaged over the past week. As such, the play park will be closed until further notice.
"Along with Belfast City Council, we are committed to ensuring that all facilities and sections of the Connswater Community Greenway are safe, accessible and welcoming.
"We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and we hope to have the park in full working order as soon as possible.
"Thank you for your patience and ongoing support."
