Welp... we break every one of those except for the last one every time we go. 'Cept the pushing one, of course. We don't push. Except swings. And to boost someone up the slide. And up the firepole. And....
This is crazy... It reminded me of the time a mom at the park got upset and told her son "all you want to do is run around and play... you don't even go on the play equipment..." Then they left! Weird!
"This park is a proud sponsor of the Childhood Obesity Epidemic"--that's what I feel like writing on it.
Seriously, I've never seen rules like that in my life. Our parks have "rule" overload though, but they usually focus on keeping out troublemakers and keeping the park clean and doggy pooh clean. But, no running? Insane.
Yep, so do we. And I'm sure we'll be breaking it when he gets a little older because I certainly don't think I would tell a 10yo+ that he can't meet up with neighborhood friends at the playground without someones mommy watching!
Yes, as soon as I made this post I thought of Lenore and went over and posted a link in comments. She must get so sick of constantly seeing junk like this.

But what were they thinking?! There is nothing that screams "Run and have fun!" more than a wide expanse of open grassy area.
ReplyDeletedouble dog dare you to take a sharpie and cross it out.
ReplyDeleteThat is ridiculous. I agree with Julie... Cross it out!

No running at a playground? I'm going to have to look more closely at the sign posted at our local playground; I hope it is missing that rule.
