Being dense - can I take kids to the park

[Imknackeredzzz]

As it says, I know we can only go out once for daily exercise. Have a 4 and 2 year old. Would I be able to take them To the swing park which will fairly quiet for the excercise?

Or are we only able to go for walks ?

Sorry if stupid question

No you can’t. They should all be closed anyway.

Walks only. Most parks have closed playgrounds as the virus lives on surfaces

No you can’t take them to play on a playground unfortunately.

Park, yes. Playground/swings, no.

You can take them for a walk but you can’t take them on the swings or other play equipment.

Yeah sadly not.
My 3 year old asks every day if I can take her and it’s so hard giving excuses that she doesn’t understand and is getting very frustrated

Only to walk. Not on the swings or any other playground type thing.

To walk or ride bikes - yes.

To sit, sunbathe, play on the swings - no.

You may find that there aren’t any swings. Our local park has had the swings removed temporarily so that people can’t use them, and the climbing frames are taped off.

No, play equipment should be closed. A walk in the park is ok as exercise though if you can maintain distance

Go for a walk. Let them roll down a hill. Invent a game. Kick a ball along.
Dont go near the swing park so they see what they cannot have.

I was the other day when I spotted this in our local park. That's a baby they've placed on the swing, both adult had a turn too

Is it still open? I haven’t been to check but I’m 99% sure that our local parks are still open but the playground bits are locked shut as I saw a statement from the council about it on Twitter.

All parks should be closed.
Did you not know this? How can you not know this?

I mean playground parks, for kids, with slides and swings.
They should be closed.

It has been very well publicised that the answer is no.

No .. this really is quite clear

Nope. Not even if you attempt to sanitize things.

Thank you - I only asked as the parks near me are open with kids in the swing! So thought maybe I had it wrong

I don't think there are any stupid questions OP! Certainly some stupid answers though

OP where have you been the last two weeks? By that I mean have you not seen countless instructions and advice that touching surfaces like swings/slides/park benches is far too risky!

I pass two parks with children's climbing frames and swings on my walks and so far have not seen one child anywhere near them.

Why the hell are people still confused about this?? What exactly is your difficulty?
Clue yourself in, ffs, or we’ll never get out of lockdown

Agree with previous poster. This is awful
