SEDGWICK COUNTY —In May, the City of Wichita  Parks and Rec installed a custom park bench painted by local artist Heather Byers depicting Black Bear Bosin in south Riverside Park, 551 W Central in Wichita.

This week grounds crews discovered the slats of the bench have been removed, ruining the bench for others to enjoy.

The city wants this one-of-a-kind piece returned, no questions asked. If you have any information, you can call us at (316) 268-4361.
