A playground in Arlington has become a shitty place indeed for families after a supposed “serial pooper” has visited again.

According to a letter from a local resident published by ARLnow, this is the fourth time in under a year and the second time in less than two weeks that neighbors have found human feces at the Ft. Bernard Park playground.

“They poop around the play equipment, not off to the side or in the bushes, and cover the feces with a shirt so that some unsuspecting child or parent can pick it up and get a fecal surprise,” the resident writes.

In addition to being disgusting, it’s also creating a health hazard. “I have three kids, one is a cancer survivor, and if you run into something like that and put your hands in it, oh my gosh gross,” local parent Andy Delafield told WJLA.

Arlington Parks and Recreation told ARLnow that “we regularly inspect the park and clean up as needed,” and Arlington County Police said they’d increase area patrols.
