The park is named after a Kathy Mazza, a Port Authority police captain who was last seen helping people out of the North Tower of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
Her mother, Rose, is angry and hurt by the vandalism.
"It's in memory of a 9/11 hero who died risking her own life to save hundreds of people," Rose Mazza told WCBS 880's Sophia Hall. "You lose a daughter, you never get over it. I cry, I think about the way she died."
Detectives are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS.
