Description
In the area of the park with the children's castle there is a large airplane made of wood. It is red and on the wings there are two iron crosses painted. I do not believe them to be graffiti as they look professional painted; however, the iron cross is was created and used as a German courage medal during WWI and WWII. Nazi symbols are hardly appropriate in a park for kids. I am hoping this was simply a case of ignorance by whoever painted and OKed this.

Newnan Utilities statement:
This was unfortunately an oversight by a project that was completed a year ago. It did not dawn on any of us that this airplanes paint job was a replication of a German warplane. Please let this person know that we will be removing the crosses that replicate a German warplane from WWI and WWII as soon as possible.
Newnan Utilities apologizes that someone found this offensive and we deeply regret this oversight. Please know our last intention would be to offend anyone. We take a lot of pride in our park that serves so many and sincerely appreciate this person bringing this to our attention.
