The City of Delta is working at replacing a popular playground area following a suspected arson fire at North Delta’s Chalmers Park.
Delta Police responded to a report of a fire at the playground area of Chalmers Park located at 11400 76A Avenue at 1:37 a.m. Saturday morning.
Upon police arrival, Delta Fire Department had already extinguished the fire.
At Monday’s Delta council meeting, Mayor George Harvie encouraged residents who may have seen anything to come forward and provide information to police.
City manager Sean McGill said there is nothing left of the playground.
“It is devastating,” McGill said. “It’s about $125,000 to replace the playground structures. Staff have prioritized this and will reinstate this as quickly as possible.”
Anyone who may have information about the incident is asked to call Delta Police at 604-946-4411 and refer to DPD tips file #2022-4795.
