An iconic sculpture atop Mission Peak in Fremont has been recovered after it went missing following vandalism at the popular hiking area, the East Bay Regional Park District said Monday.

Pictures taken over the weekend show that the top of the “Mission Peeker” had been removed. It’s unclear exactly when that happened.

On Monday afternoon, a spokesperson for the East Bay Regional Park District said the sawed-off portion of the sculpture had been recovered by park staff.

The pole has been standing atop Mission Peak since 1990.
