I need help and suggestions - feel free to think outside the box.
I help at a local children’s organisation. We’ve got great grounds but because they are so large it is difficult to fence it off successfully. It’s become a gathering place for young people, especially in the winter. It has an arbour and fire pit. Last week children’s toys ended up being melted.
we can’t afford security round the clock but we could do some security cameras and are looking into this. As it happens at night when we are not there we don’t find the damage until the morning. The police are disinterested.
other than security cameras, can you think of any other ways we can discourage this anti social behaviour? We’re worried that our play area is going to be next.
any ideas to get this to stop?

Can you find a way to lock a cover of some kind on the fire pit, at least remove that temptation?

I would also go for the high frequency deterrent.
