As well as causing considerable offense, the hate-symbols have cost Arun District Council time and money to clear, according to the police.
"This offensive behaviour has caused upset in the community and has led to unnecessary cost and time to repair the damage,” Sussex Police Sgt Ross Beaumont said. “Someone must know who is responsible.”
Arun District Council is working closely with police to address the graffiti.
A council spokesperson said: “We have made it a priority to remove the damage as much as we can, as often as we can but this comes at a significant cost to the council and removes key staff from planned works which provide added value to our parks and green spaces.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting serial 495 of 5/6, or report it online.
