A Kelowna mom is frustrated with the excessive garbage and vandalism in a Glenmore park.

Every time Robyn Setter heads to with her family, they show up equipped with gloves and garbage bags to clean-up before she can let her three-year-old son play.

She decided to call the City to ask if someone could clean the alleged smeared pudding. Setter was told the employee who could pressure wash it was off on vacation and the park couldn含羞草研究社檛 be cleaned for 10 days.

Saturday, when she visited the park her frustration escalated when she saw it had been vandalised with cryptic messages. One read, 含羞草研究社淩ip little prostate exam.含羞草研究社� The message automatically concerned her as a parent with a toddler who visits the playground.
