"Littering is littering, regardless of your baby's gender! If you choose to have a gender reveal party, please do so in a way that does not harm the environment," Jeffco Open Space wrote on Facebook.

Officials said the mess was left at at Crown Hill Park, on the southeast side of the lake.

"The Ranger who found it spent about three hours raking it up and will be back later to finish," officials stated. (UPDATE: Read CBS4's interview with that ranger.)
