Maybe you haven't picked up on this lately but it's not a great idea to confront bands of unruly teenagers about their bad behavior.

See: woman thrown off bus for asking kids not to curse.

because it’s for young children. Not HS age kids.

NP here. Since when are parks with playground equipment exclusively for the use of young children? Looking at street view in Google maps, that equipment isn't toddler sized. Climbing and sitting on playground equipment can be just as interesting to teens as younger kids. They shouldn't be smashing a shopping cart into things, but they are also neighborhood kids and have the right to use the park.

Either invite them to play with your kids, or choose a time other than lunch to go to that park.

I was waiting for this poster.

Let me break it down for you OP, there is no longer such a thing as a social contract or public decorum. People are now allowed to behave in anyway they want in public, including shouting, cursing loudly, urinating, grabbing their genitals, leering at young women, throwing trash on the street, and yes smashing shopping carts and sitting on top of a playground that was meant for little kids.

If you have any issue with this kind behavior -- you are now the problem. You're a Karen, a racist, ablest who is oblivious to her own privilege and wants to cause actual harm to people.

Standards are for bigots.

Get used to the new chaos. Or move.

OP did anyone ask them to move so their little kid could go onto the equipment?

most play equipment that’s not for toddlers is designed for ages 5-12. And either way, there were young kids there with parents. They came in shouting and showing off. Then rammed shopping carts into the equipment. How is this ok to you?

NP, c'mon. Leave the play structures to the little kids. Who the heck is going to invite a HS kid who's a stranger to play with a toddler? Are you insane?

If I found out my kid did this (they didn't cause they were in a club meeting during lunch today, and I know they went cause they are one of the leaders), I'd be upset.

There is that risk, true. So not OP name or photo. Just make an unidentified/non gender accout I guess.

Do you have pictures or a video? That’s some thing you can take up with the principal.

Which Park?

If you have kids at RMHS please tell them it’s not cool to go to the park and smash shopping carts into the playground equipment then sit on the equipment so younger kids can’t play there. It was destructive and unnecessary. Happened today on their lunch break.
