A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: “This is currently being looked in to by local officers; some names have been provided and the schools will be liaised with and talks held.
“When first noticed a local councillor took time to remove the majority of the graffiti at a cost to themselves, since the removal there has been more done, which is not acceptable.
“The area is a children's play area and there were drawings of genitalia on the play equipment and some of the remarks made are quite insulting and could cause offence.”
