Love Park Tagged With Graffiti, Mayor Says He Suspected This Might Happen

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia's iconic Love Park was tagged with graffiti on Wednesday. The tagging took place just days before a massive face lift.

The park is set to close this week for a year-long, multi-million dollar renovation.

Mayor Jim Kenney lifted the park's ban on skateboarding and skaters have been taking advantage of their last chance to ride on the granite benches, ledges and steps.

It's not clear who the vandals are, but the mayor says he suspected this might happen.
