George Sutter Park continues to be an eyesore for residents in Selection Park.
Discarded beer bottles, plastic containers and other kinds of refuse litter the park.
Residents feel that the park is unsafe for children because of the discarded beer bottles.

Eastvale park neglected by metro
People use the park to drink and party and then just leave their litter around while the metro hardly cleans the park, says residents.
One resident Paul Joubert says: “Because there are no toilet facilities at the park and all the littering that is taking place, this park will soon become a health hazard and a rubbish dump.
“This is really unacceptable.”
It is alleged that users of the park empty the contents of the portable toilets on the yards of apartment complexes nearby.
There is also evidence of fires being made on the grass of the park.

Wood from the benches have also been stolen and removed.
Another resident Johan Nel says: “We can’t use this park anymore.
“What is the use of having a park like this if people just abuse it?”
The metro failed to respond to our enquiry in time of publication.
