The CMI playground is NEVER open.  When the Lincoln's Cottage had their fall festival a few weeks back, they stationed three volunteers on the playground to literally shoo kids away.  What gives, CMI parents?  Why so f'ing stingy?  Even Beauvoir opens its gorgeous playground on the weekends.[/quote]

A neighbor who doesn't get it either.

There are 2 playgrounds across the street in the Rock Creek cemetery (not the soldiers home cemetery). They are very small, and you wouldn't know that one of them is accessible because it's inside an unlocked fence. [/quote]
Are you being deliberately obtuse? Federal facility. No after-school access. CMI families are not free to use it, nor are we allowed on the grounds of the AFRH after hours or on weekends. I'd understand the frustrations if school families were allowed in and others shut out on weekends. But this just isn't the case. And during the Fall Festival, volunteers were there to "shoo away" CMI families too. [/quote]

Oh, no, I get it, you didn't fully read the post I was giving my +1 to, maybe, or you're just being.... nah, I'll go high.

As a neighbor, I have access to the AFRH grounds every couple of months for family-friendly events. Not allowing neighbor families to use the playground on those occasions, and going so far as to dedicate several event volunteers to block access is offensive to me when many (most?) school playgrounds, public, charter, or private, are accessible to families on the weekends.
