On the evening of Monday, October 9 a group started a fire which caused damage to the play area and was extinguished by the fire service.
A spokesperson for Sun Hill Common said: "It would be a sad day if a minority ruin the area for the vast majority that greatly enjoy the space."
There are plans for planting and new signage on the common in the coming months.
