Benson Parish Council said the play equipment at the village’s parks are in need of “costly” repairs as a result.
In a “polite” statement, the council asked grown-ups to not play in the children’s area near Wallingford.
A spokesman said: “We would kindly like to remind everyone that the play equipment in our village parks is designed and built for children only.

“Unfortunately, we have recently experienced a number of costly repairs as a result of adults using the equipment.
“We understand that it can be tempting to join in the fun, but we respectfully ask adults to help us look after these facilities, so they remain safe, enjoyable, and available for local children.
“Thank you for your support in helping us care for our community spaces.”
