I saw this broken bench by the Kemp Mill Pond when I was walking by Wednesday morning, and I was wondering if anyone knows how it broke and how long it's been like that.
I'm guessing that it has something to do with the tree stump behind the bench.
Do you have a question about something in your community? Email esther.french@patch.com with a photo and what you're wondering about, and I'll post it on Wheaton Patch.

Since Derecho. Tree fell over, smashed the bench. A few days later, the tree was gone. A couple weeks later, the bench got somewhat cleaned up.

UPDATE: A work request was generated for this bench on August 1st by the Park Manager. It has been assigned to one of the maintenance crews. The broken materials will be removed as soon as possible while we await a replacement.
Thanks again for bringing this to our attention, Esther!
