The fire also damaged a nearby tree and the pavement near the playhouses, but the damage was mostly done to the playhouses.

The board says it has made a report to Kingston police, who are investigating the alleged act of vandalism. It asks anyone with information about the incident to contact investigators.

Police did not respond to a request for information.
