Older school children

Sent to London Borough of Bexley less than a minute later. Report ref: 3540793.
This park is designed for young children - probably up to the age of 10 - it is being inundated after school with incredibly badly behaved 15-16 year olds. Yesterday was worse ever as they were screaming, smoking, sitting on the slides and swings - one had stolen a Morrisons trolley- and they were sitting in it screaming. There were probably 20 of these kids. I was with my 4 year old grandson and his friend who were just staring at this awful behaviour. I think this has already been reported as there is a police sign on the gate. 2 weeks ago 2 boys were starting a fire just outside the play area. Please try and clean this up - its utterly disgusting in such a beautiful park.

I bring my child to this park all the time and I’m starting to get annoyed with how many teenagers over the age of 16 that are in the park. They spread out all over the Park in all different equipment so my 4 year old is limited in what he can go on. I am in the park now and there are 20 teenagers taking up all the space on most of the equipment. They are playing inappropriate music loudly on a speaker. There is McDonald’s rubbish all over the floor. I attended the park last week at lunch time also where there were 4 teenagers on all swings smoking weed and spitting all over the floor. I feel like the park needs to be monitored nore as the park has been designed for children under the age of 14 but is regularly taken over every lunch time by older teenagers.
