An eight-inch knife was found in Old Station Park by members of Horwich First
KNIVES were found close to a children's play area during a litter pick in Horwich.
The two blades were discovered in Old Station Park while Horwich First Community Group was carrying out the clean-up on Saturday.
One was described as an eight-inch chef's knife.
A spokesman from the group said they had been passed on to officers at Greater Manchester Police.
He added: "There is absolutely no justification for carrying knives of any size in public places.
"But to discard near a children's playground, where a child could fall on or pick them up, is despicable."
It comes after residents raised concerns about anti-social behaviour incidents around the town.
