Parents were left disgusted after finding 20 soiled nappies dumped in a children’s water play area.

The dirty nappies were found overnight in the kids area at Rocks Riverside Park at Seventeen Mile Rocks, south-west of Brisbane.

Brisbane City Council was forced to close the popular water park after alerting locals on Sunday.

‘I am outraged at the selfishness of vandals who over the weekend dumped dirty nappies in the kids aqua park at Rocks Riverside Park,’ councillor Matt Bourke of the Jamboree ward told The Courier Mail.

The council’s park crew worked through the weekend to remove the dumped nappies in the swimming areas.

The council workers had to drain the dirty pool to be filled up with clean swimming water.

‘This is one of the most popular parks in Brisbane and a favourite on weekends for babies and toddlers to enjoy safely, so it is disgraceful that people have deliberately rubbished it,’ councillor Bourke said.

The park has since been reopened.

  • Such selfish act indeed !
    On Sunday we were driving on the road through at least a 50 dirty nappies as well !
    Wonder what are the true motives behind this behaviour, but maybe I should be glad I can’t understand this.

  • What were they thinking when doing this? What do they get from doing this?

  • I find this really odd that vandals had access to 20 soiled nappies? I think it has come to a time where parks need to be locked at night, with cctv vision to protect them from vandalism.

  • Disgusting and dangerous. I hope the vandals are caught and punished appropriately, makes me sick to think of what could have developed and been floating around in there overnight.

  • Some people have no respect for others. I bet if they woke up to find the same thing in their front yard they wouldn’t be very happy !!

  • Some people are disgusting. We went to a local park recently and it would’ve been an awesome park except despite there being ample rubbish bins around there was rubbish everywhere and a used condom. I left as soon as I saw that and reported to council who said they can’t do anything about other people misusing the area. Disgusting people out there


    • I disagree with what they said – it’s the council’s job to maintain these areas! They should be sending maintenance down there, it’s for people to enjoy afterall
