Parks & Playgrounds:

Web Form: There are two parks at Bryan Park. I’m specifically talking about the one that is designated for younger kids. Today, my son and I were playing with other kids his age (2.5) when a large group of kids (average age: 8) showed up with two caregivers. The older kids were pushing and shoving on the play structure, creating a danger for younger kids. My question is: is there an age limit imposed for use of that particular playground? My understanding is that it is for kids 5 and under. What can I do to help impose this? It’s definitely a safety issue for smaller children when the older children begin climbing up the slides (yes, inside, and on the outside) and crowding and pushing on the platforms.

While playgrounds are intended for certain ages, it's a hard line to enforce play on these structures. If you feel like someone is using a playground inappropriately or preventing it from being used by the appropriate age group, please call the Parks office so we can respond at that time.
