FOLLOWING repeated acts of vandalism of the Rotary Wellness Space within the National Park, the Rotary Club of Central Georgetown, in a statement, expressed its profound disappointment over the incidents.
In a public statement on its Facebook page, the Rotaract Club of Georgetown Central expressed concern and disappointment over the repeated acts of vandalism targeting infrastructure established through the service projects at the Rotary Wellness Space within the National Park.

The organisation said, the glass panels on The Little Free Library were deliberately shattered December last.
“And, again, in April 2025, we were met with another wave of destruction when the branding was stripped from the Little Free Library; the branding and contents removed from our Mental Wellness Notice Board, and branding stripped off of the newly installed Peace Pole (an initiative of our parent club, the Rotary Club of Georgetown Central @rotarygeorgetowncentral),” the organization stated.

Again, on May 1, 2025, it was also discovered that the material covering the little Free Library was also stripped off of the roof and back.
The Rotary Club of Georgetown said these service projects were created for the public’s enjoyment, and were designed to uplift, educate, and unite.
It added that their destruction suggests a targeted attack on the values they stand for: literacy, peace, mental wellness, and community togetherness. This, the organisation said, affects the wider community which benefits from and takes pride in these shared spaces.

“We strongly condemn these senseless acts and urge anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity or has any information to report it to the relevant authorities. We also encourage park users and the general public to remain vigilant and help us protect these spaces. Your eyes and voices are powerful tools in safeguarding publicly accessible service projects.

“Though our installations were targeted, our purpose remains untouched. These events have only deepened our resolve to serve with even greater heart and intention. Our spirit cannot be broken by vandalism, only strengthened through adversity and each setback reminds us of why these projects matter, and why we must continue to build spaces that reflect hope, peace, and wellness for all,” the statement said.

The Rotary Club of Georgetown is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) with a mandate for youth development and community service.
