We live near a school and will take our girls there to run around on the blacktop. We let them bring a scooter, ball, etc. But don't allow them on the playground equipment.


Umm, masks are required in stores here too, but thanks for the insult.


Kind of sad that SF can't take its problems of homelessness as seriously as it's seemingly taking COVID-19. Oh, well...

It CAN be transmitted on surfaces, just a low likelihood. Doesn’t mean there’s zero chance.

But that said, an up crowded playground should be fine.

+10

We also found a few other playgrounds to mix it up.


You have some real special kids if, at age 3, they can spend an hour or two on the playground and not touch their faces.

I'm in the stay at home until a vaccine camp, but I'll let my kid go to the playground once it opens. I will just try to go at times it is not crowded. My kid is a bit older, so if there are other kids there I may make her wear a mask. And of course we'd sanitize before and after playing.

If you're allowing yourselves take-out then playgrounds are a no brainer

Yes we are and can’t wait. If you are this uncertain I wouldn’t go. They’d going to be crowded and other kids will come into contact with your kids. So if you aren’t comfortable with that I wouldn’t go.

Just take them. JFC. If it’s not crowded it’s really not a big deal.

Our family has taken the virus seriously, remained isolated (other than outdoor activities and takeout), and wears masks when we are outside the house. In phase 2, playgrounds are reopening and we are trying to decide whether to allow our kids (3 and 1) to start visiting them again when they reopen. Just curious what other families are doing (that have been engaging in similar practices as our family).
