Pipal Park at 78th and West Center is absolutely filthy – so bad, in fact, that a mom said she had to take her toddler home.


Video: Disgusting scene at Omaha park turns families away

Gross doesn't come close to describe what was found at Pipal Park earlier this week. Feminine hygiene products smothered with ketchup strewn about the playground equipment.

"This is probably about as bad as we've seen," said Mike Lewis.

It's impossible to ignore the disgusting scene.

"There's debris all over the place," said Charles Briganti.

More than a dozen eggs, tossed and cracked all over the playground. The vandals left no surface unscathed.

The reason vandalism in this particular park really bothers people is because the entire thing is designed for children who have trouble getting around. In fact, the park is handicapped-accessible, whether you want to go down the slide or take a spin on the merry-go-round.

But not now, and not until it's clean.

Parks Director Brook Bench said a crew will be out Wednesday with a tanker truck to wash down the park and pick up the mess.

Parents say the sooner the better.

"It's sick," said Kristina Pepper. "That kind of stuff to go bad and rot attract animals that might be rabid or anything like that. You don't need that around a place for kids."

Bench said it can take a while to clean up these kinds of messes during winter and early spring because the weather needs to stay above freezing long enough for the park to dry.
