During a recent visit to the playground at South Middle School with my children, I noticed inappropriate words and images drawn all over it. It is disheartening to see that children in our community cannot even play in a safe and clean environment. Additionally, the playground was filled with trash and overgrown weeds. As a concerned resident, I am willing to help clean it up, but I believe the school or DPW should address the graffiti.

I was disturbed to learn from a school maintenance worker that older individuals use this location for inappropriate activities. Therefore, I suggest that the school improve this playground or relocate it to a more visible location for the neighborhood and school children's safety.

On wall

Inappropriate language written on the slide in the playground.

Pole 1 on Southworth St has 3 personal signs posted on it; at the intersection of Southworth St. and West Chestnut St. on the opposite end, there is a personal sign posted on the traffic island. I believe these are both ordinance violations but there is no selection offered in that category. These personal postings are 21'st century graffiti, not serving the citizens but the businesses they advertise.

Homeless people living under the bridge have begun to spray paint graffiti on both sides of the walls underneath. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Patriot Front sticker on signal box as well as other graffiti

The chain link fence, damaged in several places, surrounding the Brockton Fairground's parking lot space has several large advertisements posted. In 2024 this excessive signage is becoming a form of graffiti. There is also an election campaign sign still posted. Many visitors to Brockton High school, the Rox Stadium, and the Registry have this area as their first impression of our"City of Champions". The signs should be removed and the fence repaired or replaced.
