SEE: Historic Simsbury Park Turned Into Garbage Dump

SIMSBURY, CT — Local police and recreation officials are asking for the public's help in determining who dumped a disgusting amount of garbage in the middle of a beloved local park.

The Simsbury Culture, Parks & Recreation Department posted a disturbing video Tuesday of piles of trash dumped at the town's Pinchot Sycamore Tree Park over the Labor Day holiday weekend.

The park is located below the Route 185 bridge and serves as the home of the Pinchot Sycamore Tree, which happens to be the oldest such tree in the state and serves as the town symbol of Simsbury.

But over the holiday weekend, the beloved park was turned into a garbage dump, according to local officials.

"This is the second incidence of illegal dumping in the last few months at this location," wrote the town.

Local officials are asking folks to call the Simsbury Police Department at 860-658-3100 if they know who did it or have any information about the incident.
