Kenneth Addison 75 admitted threatening behaviour, common assault and indecent exposure at Kidderminster Magistrates' Court in Worcestershire.
He was jailed for 22 weeks for his crimes and will be subject to an indefinite Asbo on his release banning Addison from using the town's Brinton Park, as well as public drunkenness, swearing and spitting.
A 79-year-old woman who was given an order by magistrates in Blackwood, south Wales, last month is the oldest person to receive an ASBO. She was reported to have growled "like a dog" during a boundary dispute with neighbours.

Calvin Hooper 10, and his brother Kyle, 12, from Newport, south Wales, have been placed under Asbos for five years by magistrates in nearby Caerphilly.
Both are banned from swearing, making rude gestures, damaging property, starting fires and throwing missiles.44 incidents were recorded in 14 months, including breaking windows and shooting at people with an air gun.
As part of the conditions of the Asbos, the boys are banned from mixing with certain individuals and also gives a night-time house curfew.
Local councillor Alan Morris said: "There are two issues here. The first is sadness that it has actually come to this - that two lads so young should be presented with such a serious ASBO.
"But secondly it sends the right message out to the community, that if enough people come forward and give evidence about the people who are making their lives a misery something can be done.
The Home Office said ASBOs could only be issued to people who have reached the age of 10, which is the age of criminal responsibility.
