The playground in St George's Park, Great Yarmouth, was closed this morning (Tuesday August 6) as soon as the damage to the play surface was discovered.
The apparatus - a magnet for families in the summer holidays - has been sealed off for repairs.
It is hoped it can re-open on Friday August 9.
A spokesman for Great Yarmouth Borough Council said the play surface had been damaged in three places and that the police were aware.
