Sure that always works well, trying to reason with a grown a*s adult who is too clueless to realize he is making women and children have to feel guarded.

Why are women always second class citizens who are always expected to make way for men?

There is nothing to talk about. He needs to leave because playgrounds are for kids. Go walk anywhere else in the park. [/quote]

Oh sure now playgrounds are for everyone. Yeah!  It’s so awesome everyone feels included at playgrounds including drug addicts, alcoholics with glass bottles, dogs, pedophiles, homeless camping under play structures, weird adult men who like to walk in tight circles, etc. since everyone has a right to be there.  That’s exactly why public playgrounds were created and supported by tax dollars. Children were just an afterthought. They need to learn to share, right?

Playgrounds for all! What a fantastic way to get popular support for new playgrounds or to get support to use tax dollars to maintain and upgrade playgrounds. [/quote]

LOL.  NP here & yes, completely agree with you, and some people here are insane!  Playgrounds are for kids and their caregivers, period.  I sometimes see adults without kids using the equipment, such as using the bars to stretch.  That is totally fine, but once kids come over, the adults need to make way.

An adult making a tight circle around the playground is going to interfere with kids playing there.  Same reasoning as above, if an adult is using the playground for walks and sees a kid coming over, they need to leave.

In NYC where I’m from, the playgrounds have posted signs that adults without children are NOT ALLOWED.  I get that this bright line rule does not exist in most places, but the reason for it does. [/quote]
