Balmoral Beach has been targeted by antisemitic vandalism, with graffiti sprayed inside the concrete bowl at the skate park.
The words “F**k the Jews” were discovered scrawled in blue paint on Saturday afternoon.
The vile incident has been reported to NSW Police.
Sydney’s wave of antisemitism has reached Balmoral Oval, leaving the community shocked and angry.
The attack is the latest in a spate of antisemitic attacks sweeping Sydney, and the first on the lower north shore.
A popular local facility, the Balmoral Skate Park is frequented by teenagers and has been in operation since 2005.
“It was built for the enjoyment of the young people of Mosman after much community consultation,” a plaque at the Skate Park’s entrance reads.
The shocking discovery was made at the Balmoral’s Skate Park on Saturday afternoon.
Saturday’s discovery comes after months of anti-Jewish violence, with similar slurs spray-painted on Sydney synagogues, homes, cars and even a childcare centre over the past six months, inciting fear and distress.
Earlier this week, on-duty NSW nurses Ahmad “Rashad” Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh, allegedly boasted about killing Israeli hospital patients during an online video chat, in an antisemitic tirade that has heightened concerns among Sydney’s Jewish community.
The oval is used by thousands of locals each month, who flock to the open space for exercise and club sport.
