Vandals have drawn a phallus on the footbridge leading to Queen's Park in Chesterfield.
Chesterfield Borough Council will now have to use taxpayers' money to remove the tasteless graffiti.
Thousands of people - including children - walk across the bridge every day to get to the town beauty spot.
Graffiti is an offence of criminal damage and, if prosecuted, the offender could face a fine or even imprisonment.
