May 25, 2017: repair begun

The graffiti sections were replastered by park staff Michelle Webb. Then a month later there was new graffiti:

Nov.6 2016

One of the graffities seems to be a reference to the summer's peanut butter smearing in the playground, which was all over the news. Copycat?


"Sex drugs and peanut butter"
