During the call out, a number of members of the public expressed concern about how the park was being used by a group if youths.
An e-scooter was also found to be being ridden dangerously and was seized under police powers.
PC Kimberley Wilson said: ‘’While engaging with the group, a number of concerned parents approached us, explaining how they were trying to enjoy the park with their children but were being disturbed by a group of youths acting in an inappropriate and abusive manner.
‘’During this incident, a child was also found to be riding an e-scooter in a way that put others at risk. The e-scooter was seized under police powers.
‘’We'd like to remind the community that privately owned e-scooters cannot be ridden on roads, pavements, cycle lanes or in a public place.
‘’Their use in public places can be dangerous to both the rider and the public, and police have the authority to seize e-scooters being used illegally and further action may be taken.
‘’Please take the time to speak to your children about appropriate behaviour in the community and make sure you know where they are and what they are up to. Together we can prevent antisocial behaviour and keep our parks an enjoyable space for everyone.’’
