I often visit the pool here, but am becoming increasingly fed up with the number of smokers in this area which is supposedly for children.

I have also often noticed adults smoking in the children's playground, too. I would like to see some visible No Smoking signs within these areas.

It's not too much to ask - yes they are outdoor areas, but surely our children shouldn't be subjected to the sight and smell of this horrid habit in areas specifically designated as their play areas.
