It happened around 2 a.m. on Saturday when, the Fairfield Fire Department confirmed, a fire ruined the playset, resulting in around $500,000 in damage.
Longtime neighbors who live near the park at 5th and Utah streets say nightly fires set by the unhoused in the park are most likely to blame for the playground catching fire.
Gutierrez said that within the past year, the issues in the park and subsequent crime were the worst it has ever been in his time living there.
Several neighbors tell CBS13 they called Fairfield Police recently to alert them to the routine fires in the park. One neighbor, who asked to only be identified as Kim, feared this would happen. It's why she and her husband have called 911 multiple times.
"Were you worried it would get to this point?" I asked.
The Fairfield Police Department confirmed to CBS13 that it received reports of the fire in Linear Park and is working with the fire department to investigate the cause.
Fairfield Mayor Catherine Moy said this is not an isolated problem but one impacting much of Solano County.
Kim said that efforts by the city to clear the unhoused from Linear Park have not been successful.
Signs from the city are posted in the park stating that camping, starting fires and being at the playground as an adult without a child are not allowed. Neighbors told me they want to see more action taken.
The Fairfield Police Department encourages anyone with camera footage, additional information or observations related to this incident to contact dispatch on their non-emergency number, 707-428-7300.
