[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Makes no sense to me either, OP.

I spent a winter patiently explaining over and over to a 4yo that I didn’t know when his park friends would be back out to play. Chestnut hill, in Arlington, is packed when the weather is nice.  But every time he wanted to play from Nov-April, it was deserted.  Dress the kid warmly in layers, and if they’re running and playing, they’ll start taking things off as the exercise warms them more.  [/quote]

I was often the only one at Chestnut Hills with my 2 year old last winter! Once we actually saw another kid there and I said to be friendly to the dad, “Where is everyone?” He gave me a look and said, “Uh it’s freezing out, that’s why!” I think it was around 48-50 degrees. [/quote]

We love chestnut hills park and haven’t been nov until now. I’m planning to go next week.

We don’t do outings to playgrounds in the cold. We will play with leaves in our backyard, in the snow or in our driveway for a few minutes. We do outings to museums, nature centers and indoor play areas.

No one says, “let’s go to the playground tomorrow. It is going to be freezing!”

I meet up with friends for coffee or go to one another’s home. Last week it was high 40s and friend invited us over. Ended up being mostly outdoor play date and my toddler’s fingers were freezing. I wasn’t expecting to be outside and didn’t bring gloves for her. She and I were both cold. Hosting family had on hat and gloves.[/quote]
