Douglas County Secret Witness is offering a $250 reward for information about recent attempts to set fires in a restroom at the gazebo in Minden Park.
Town Public Works Director Greg Hill said fires have been set in the men's restroom three times in the last six months. The latest attempt was Sunday.
"So far, they've just damaged the paint and a couple of trash cans burned up. There's been some smoke damage, but we're lucky it hasn't got to the point where the building has caught fire," Hill said.
He said vandalism at the park in the older part of Minden seems to get worse every year. Hill said the bathrooms lock electronically at 7 p.m., but vandals have found ways to prop the door open with paper towels and other debris.
Anyone with information about the vandalism is asked to call Secret Witness at 782-7463 or 586-7295.
Anonymity is guaranteed and payment will be made in any manner the caller prefers for information that leads to the arrest and, or conviction of the suspect.
