Op here. I have been to playgrounds when we are the only ones there or another family or 2. If one family is alone on the equipment very far away, it is fine.

This was a packed playground. Now that I think about it, it was probably more like 50 kids and 30+ adults. These unmasked people were right next to people.[/quote]

Then leave.

Look, I get it. It would be better if we could all agree on the exact same masking protocol. I have been places where I have been frustrated that people were not masking to the degree I think is appropriate. But honestly, I've also been places where I was not wearing a mask and even though I felt 100% sure I was not posing a Covid risk (outdoor area with only a few people, all very far apart), I could tell some of the other people were annoyed that I wasn't wearing a mask.

You just have to set your own boundaries and stick with them. If an unmasked person stood right next to me, I'd move away from them. If there were lots of unmasked people and I couldn't get away, I'd leave. The end.

My response would be different if this were a workplace or indoors, but in this situation, I don't know what you want me to say. Those people are jerks? The things is that they might be... or they might just have a different understanding of the risks of Covid than you or I do and truly not feel that they were putting anyone at risk.[/quote]
