In Bospark Bakel, vandalism has been carried out with graffiti in several places. A volunteer from the park discovered, among other things, a swastika on a trash can and the text ‘dood’ on tree trunks. With its gnome forest and butterfly garden, the forest park is a play paradise for children.
Graffiti has also been sprayed on several figurines. The park is not happy about it and posts photos on social media. “Calling the maker(s) of these ‘works of art’: we would like to get in touch, because we are convinced that this creative brain can come into its own much better at our beautiful Bospark.”
It leads to many indignant reactions. “I’m happy, how bad this is. Disrespectful and very sad”, can be read under the photos. Several people call the action outrageous and terrible. “What a pity that there are no camera images of anything. To beat up the lovingly decorated Bospark with something like that. What’s wrong with you? No decency? Lack of education? Shameless and no chance anyway,” writes Edwin.
