Camperdown Memorial park children’s playground is in disrepair. From the pile of empty bottles outside the playground it looks as if there was a party in the playground. And a rowdy one at that.
The lock on the gate is broken. So without an ever constant eye a child may escape. Or a dog may enter.
And both sand pits are full of cigarette buts. Not to mention the odd bottle cap and piece of glass. Not really the thing for a kids playground. I can see some kid slicing their foot open.
The sandpits need someone to run them through a sieve, like they do at the major beaches.
Now the broken swing I can’t definitely blame on the apparent party, but it is another sign of disrepair.
Considering inner city Sydney has a baby boom, it would be nice if facilities for children were kept in better repair.
