Those kids are really wild and often hurt the toddlers playing there. [/quote]

Peabody also has their own beautiful playground that they don't open to the public, which makes it especially obnoxious that they farm their out of control aftercare out to Stanton. [/quote]

Why don't they use their own playground (serious question)?[/quote]

I believe that Peabody has 2 after care providers, and one uses the Peabody playground and the other uses Stanton.

It's not unusual for a school playground to be locked on the weekends and evenings.  Otherwise they'd get dirty and used for non-kid things.  Some playgrounds have family volunteers that lock up the playground at dark -- this allows the playground to be open to the public during daylight, non-school hours.  Maybe Peabody was having trouble getting parent volunteers, or had more trouble with inappropriate use by the public.  [/quote]

I can think of multiple public playgrounds - even those very close to a school - that have problems with condoms, empty liquor bottles, human feces, and drunk adults sleeping off their hangovers.

Those images make a strong argument for locking up public parks after sundown and on weekends.  Adults and teenagers can't be trusted to behave appropriately, so small children can't have nice things.
That's nonsense. Brent, Maury and LT all allow the public to use the playground after school and on weekends. And LT has an amazing brand new playground![/quote][/quote]
