A Logan City BMX club has been targeted yet again and had its clubhouse and track severely vandalised.

The Beenleigh BMX Club has asked anyone who knows anything to make contact.

“Like all small sporting clubs, our committee and helpers are all unpaid volunteers so damage like this just adds to our expenses and workload keeping our track and surroundings safe and rideable for the whole community,” the club said in a social media post shared by Councillor Karen Murphy.

Cr Karen Murphy took to social media and said she was very disappointed to hear of this.

“We have so many hardworking volunteers at not only Beenleigh BMX Club but others across Division 12 who put in their own free time and effort to make our clubs great, only for their hard work to be undone by a few bad eggs,” she said.

“Council officers and I are supporting the BMX committee to work through getting the club back up and running.

“It is disappointing that this has happened, as the club had just finished renovations that we’re funded by Councillor’s Local Infrastructure Program.

“CCTV cameras are located in the park and will assist in the investigations.”

If anyone has any information please contact the BMX President @pjtolmie, police, or council.
