Children’s playground at Gas Works Park gets tagged with profanity

Children’s playground at Gas Works Park gets tagged with profanity
August 14, 2025

By Hannah Saunders

The children’s playground in Fremont’s beloved Gas Works Park, which is used at all hours of the day, was spotted tagged with profanity on August 14.

The area features several climbing structures with slides and a round net swing.

Spray paint was strewn across the outside and inside of one playground structure, including one person who practiced their tagline at least three times.

On a round and pale grey feature next to it, someone used bright pink spray paint to write “Real Ass Bitches” next to the face of a  person wearing a crown.

While spray paint and graffiti are used as forms of self-expression, others consider it ugly and vandalism. The pink streak marks show that person is relatively new to using spray paint.

What do you think about it being used to tag the playground? Let us know below!

The neck-kneel has been banned since 2020, yet in less than one year I have personally experienced and witnessed on three separate occasions the neck-kneel,” one community member said at the May 12 public safety committee meeting. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYQ32WYR4_k/ Chloe Cole provides an update on why she cancelled the TPUSA speaking event at UW tomorrow. Friendly reminder that TPUSA is an extremist group. TPUSA cancelled tomorrow's UW speaking event.
