[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to the community center playground behind PBES and the cop station and watch the droves of kids congregate and smoke weed with smashed beer bottles all over the place while little kids play on the playground. If you're lucky there will be a fight or something else. Would I raise my family in TP, no.

What? I have been at that park 3x after school this week and literally just yesterday I was smiling through the basketball court fence at the organized, inclusive, incredibly diverse game of kids playing knockout.

Yes, the park (near skatepark) has had issues, as have ALL public parks at night and in summer. Youths are a risky, asshole-ish bunch on the whole. But TkPk is exactly the kind of place I want to raise my child, with appropriate supervision, and with grounding in the real world.

I do hope you enjoy your gated community in Potomac, though. [/quote]

+100 I'm an East Silver Spring parent, and agree 100% with PP. Takoma Park (and Silver Spring) are exactly where I am choosing to raise my family because it is the kind of place where kids gather to play together. I'm at the PBES playground often for soccer practice and have not noticed any of the issues described above. Even if there were some teens smoking pot in the evening, though, I'm not at all convinced that this is a "problem" endemic to Takoma Park.

The Takoma Youth Soccer is one of the many other great things about this community. My kids also play soccer there too.[/quote]
