Feral pigs dig up the dirt on the community playing fields

To a feral pig, a community playing field or a neighbor's backyard are fair game when it comes to finding dinner. But they leave quite a trail of destruction behind them in the process as they rip up landscaping and, in this recent case, the ball fields on St. Mary's Road.
City workers have put up a temporary fence to deter the porkers. According to a sign on the fence, "Given the importance of security until further notice access will be restricted to permitted sports teams." Lamorinda Weekly hopes the pigs can read.
The city says that staff are working on a long-term solution and hope to restore access to all very soon.
