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害羞草研究所檛 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, 害羞草研究所淩ip little prostate exam.害羞草研究所 The message automatically concerned her as a parent with a toddler who visits the playground.

Setter is concerned other young children might see the candy and grab it.

Now, she has had to take matters into her own hands to enjoy the park that is only two blocks away from her home. Every time her family visits Calmels Park, they show up prepared to give it a good clean.
