[quote=Anonymous]I am a Mt. P parent who is also  frustrated with the Bancroft change in policy. Many of you may not understand the history of this playground.  It was very recently renovated for multi-purpose use.  One of those purposes was to serve the community - that's why they created a toddler playground.  The playground has three very distinct play areas for different age groups.  It has become a very popular neighborhood destination for parents of very young children.  For the last two years many parents and caregivers of toddlers have used this between the hours of 4-6 pm (post-nap before dinner).  For Bancroft to suddenly yank this option from neighborhood parents is extremely disappointing.  Every day my 2- and 4- year old now ask why they can't go to the playground.

I agree that the most appropriate compromise would have been to let young children use the fenced-in toddler playground.

I agree there are problems with unsupervised kids, but the problem is with older kids - not toddlers.  This problem could have been addressed by prohibiting all non-school children at the to be accompanied by an adult.

My children don't attend Bancroft but we do support them in other ways.  [/quote]
