You don’t bring things to the park that you don’t want to share.

How old are the kids who are asking? Are they asking you, or your child?

Hoverboard I would say no because they’re kinda hard to use and I make my kid wear a helmet on one. Scooter, if my kid was ok with it and wasn’t using it I would let someone ride as long as they stayed in the park.

Something like a soccer ball or frisbee - sure. A scooter or hover board? No way - not only because they could damage it, but because they could injure themselves.

What would you or your kid say to other kids? With the scooter I told my soon without helmet it's dangerous to ride so he can't let anyone without a helmet use it. The kids continue to still ask. Wondering if there is anything I can say.

Just say "No", FFS!

Understand that bringing expensive toys can make your kids target for resentment and jealousy from the poors. Otherwise, just say "No".

+3. If a scooter is transportation, it should be against the fence when not in use. If it’s a toy to play with, share or leave in the car.

I still think it’s best not to bring toys to the park unless you are going to share. Use streets, other green spaces, empty fields. It will just not be fun to be constantly telling kids no, arguing with them, dealing with it all.

I agree with this if you mean balls and blocks and preschool or toddler age. By ES kids can hear no and deal. OP I would just have him say no
