Vandals have left a trail of destruction after a number of attacks to parks across Marlow.
Officials have hit out at the offenders who caused damage and graffiti last weekend including flooding a park, defacing a memorial bench, and setting bins alight.
Marlow Parish Town Council clerk, Hilary Martin, said the gate to the May Balfour Gardens was flooded by someone ripping a tap out of the wall.
She said: "Vandals scaled the locked gate at the gardens and ripped a tap out of the wall.
"They placed the hose through the gate to flood the area."
It is one of a series of vandalism acts reported in Marlow between Friday, February 10, and Sunday, February 12.
