Park Vandalized With Hate Symbols

WAUKESHA COUNTY, WI -- Cleanup crews were busy last night in Liberty Park in Pewaukee after a report that the park was vandalized with hate symbols over the weekend.

"We are devastated to report that Liberty Park was heavily vandalized over night. Crews are on the way to try to remove all of the spray paint which is on the tennis courts, basketball court and all over the new playground. Please be patient as we do our best to clean it up," a Pewaukee Park and Recreation Facebook post reported Sunday.

Swastikas, "white power", and other white supremacist markings were spray painted on the courts and playgrounds according to a WTMJ 4 report Monday.

According to the parks department, the markings were removed after a cleanup crew pressure washed the tennis courts and playground equipment.
