Police say they received a report that the grounds had been damaged sometime between Friday night and Sunday morning.
Images of the park show wheel marks from a vehicle criss-crossing a significant portion of the new sand -based turf.
Mayor Wayne Guppy says the turf had only been in used for the last six weeks following an 18 month upgrade which was part of the first stage of the Maidstone Park Sports Hub project. Funding for the second stage of the development has been fast-tracked by a $12m injection from the central government's shovel ready funding which will allow for the building of new clubrooms and other infrastructure at the site.
"Someone knows what happened out there. People who do this sort of thing can't help but boast about it, so we are asking anyone who knows anything about it to come forward."
A police spokeswoman said the incident was awaiting to be signed to an investigating officer.
Hospitality outlets want the Government to spend $27 million on meal discounts to prevent widespread closures and job losses.
The Restaurant Association has launched a petition calling for subsidies of up to $20 per person for meals served at restaurants, cafes and bars.

This pic was taken by Lisa Adamson this morning. The pod looks like it has since moved across the harbour to Petone.

We have high standards and our bakers do too, which is why there are multiple quality checks in place at the bakery and only the best looking buns make the cut.
We use less than a teaspoon of sugar in each of the buns which gives them the colour and texture that makes them perfect for burgers.
