"If they were about to hold an All Blacks training session there the following day, or two days later, what effort then would they put in?" he asked. "It was never like that pre-Raggamuffin."
Mr Taylor said it took four days to remove a temporary stage after the event last Saturday, December 13.
"We can't have kids running on the grass there, they'll pick up a can top or something in the foot."
He said with delays in cleaning up, wind had also blown garbage into nearby bushes.
Trusts Arena chief executive Brian Blake said up to 2500 members of the public visited the fields every day. "There's constantly an issue in that ground with rubbish coming and going because ... there are no fences around the site."
Mr Blake said the trust had no problems with Raggamuffin.
"It went really, really well. There was a hell of a big turnout."
He said severe weather earlier this month delayed the clean-up after the festival. Mr Blake said a local athletics club leader raised concerns after the event but that issue was resolved.
"We were about a day late in getting Raggamuffin out because of the storm. We worked through that as a group."
Mr Blake said he would visit the venue promptly to check on its latest condition. "It's technically owned by council. We just look after it on behalf of them. It's public ground."
He said specialist machines cleaned the venue after major events.
Raggamuffin moved to West Auckland this year from its previous venue in Rotorua.
