The Town of Sylvan Lake posted on their official Facebook page that extensive damage caused by vandals has shut down the public washrooms at Leader Field.

The social media post says that the facility will be closed for the foreseeable future.

This incident will cause problems for local teams and also for the Family Skating and Sledding Party this weekend. The town says they do have a back up plan in case things aren't repaired in time.

"We might have everything cleaned up and repaired for the Family Skating and Sledding Party this weekend. We'll try our best. If not, we'll do what we can to ensure there's washrooms available, in some capacity, for event goers."
