We are at a big park and playground and there are literally tons and tons of kids; most of them running around in groups with friends and most of them without masks. The adults all seem to have the masks on but the kids do not. There are a bunch of little kids playing soccer all without masks. Kids climbing all over playground equipment without masks. I am so confused by all the changing guidance. Are we truly at a place where this can be happening safely?


Outdoor playgrounds have been open for months. What’s your question? Is something new out there about Covid on outdoor metal or plastic?

Soccer, baseball and basketball practices outdoors have been san masks for months as well, all over the country.

Nothing is safe. There are no guarantees in life about anything. If you want 100% safety, enjoy your bunker.

How about the fact that there have been no reports of kid-to-kid transmission of cases after months of sports? Baseball, swim, soccer, football, day camps. None of these sports which have been held across the country have resulted in mass infections.

Nope. We seek out playgrounds that are empty or slow. The kids know they can play without a mask until I call them (when I can see other kids heading over to play), then we can leave or they can wear masks.

They didn’t “claim” anything. They just said practices have been outdoors without masks since early this summer. And they have. That’s not claiming anything. Again - no guarantees in life. Plan accordingly.

We see playgrounds that are full with kids/parents/nanny’s and about 50% ish masked (not necessarily along the lines of kids / adults). Same re sports. Some games look all masked. Others look like none. No diff in age groups. Idk. We avoid the playgrounds when they are busy. We mostly bike ride, masked. Seems safer.
