[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see playgrounds opening any time particularly soon. At least, not in MoCo. It's too bad, though. I'd be perfectly comfortable letting my kids play on playground equipment provided that I could prevent child-to-child contact. And I think I could do that where I live. There's lots of little playgrounds that were usually empty.[/quote]

How do you prevent child to child contact at a playground?[/quote]

My daughter has been going to preschool this entire time because we are essential workers. She’s on a playground there all the time. No cases at her center. Transient contact at a playground is very low risk.[/quote]

That may be true.  And people being willing to risk child to child contact is one thing.  But PP who planned to go as long as she could prevent child to child contact seems completely unrealistic.[/quote]

That was me.

What I meant was that there are a lot of neighborhood playgrounds that are typically empty, or nearly empty.  The the last two years, my kids have rarely been in close contact with other children at these playgrounds.  Often we're the only ones there.  Or if there are kids, they're often in another part.

And I probably should have used the word "limit" rather than "prevent."  I wouldn't be trying to stop any contact at all cost.[/quote]

I’m the PP with the kid in preschool. I agree. We have a playground behind our house. It’s pretty well hidden, so it’s probable only the people on our block really know about it. At most there are 2-3 other kids there and at least 60% of the time, we’re the only ones there.

It seems crazy that MoCo wouldn’t allow that playground to open, when Hogan is opening playgrounds at state parks.[/quote]
