when to let child play out away from home?

[HitsAndMrs]

My DD has just turned 9. 2 kids on another street play on their bike around the estate going wherever really until about 8.30pm. My dd isn't allowed off the street at the moment as I feel it isn't safe but I am questioning whether I am not allowing her enough freedom?
Would you let your 9 year old go and play away from the house? She would stay on the estate but I wouldn't be able to see her, nor would I know where abouts she is.

My 9 year old plays out but it's in the road in front of the house I wouldn't feel comfortable not being able to see them

My 9yo can go around our tiny village, but we are very rural (and I know everyone and they know her). I don't imagine I'd want her off our street if we were somewhere bigger.

My 9yr old goes along to his friend's house on his bike. He's in the same street but we're 24 doors apart, so quite far, and not visible.
We're in a street where lots of kids play out.

I let DD out in our estate but away from the house in Y6. Wouldn’t have felt comfortable any younger than that even though we live in a safe area.

I have a green around the corner. I can see a slice of it from the house from a particular room. If DS (9) had friends clustered around there. I would let him, but not on his own/ (with DS (7) yet. DS(7) has a cluster of friends around there so I think that would be OK sooner. There seems to be a big gap between older teenagers who no longer play out and DS1.

If we over looked it more directly, I'd let them play there.

My nine year old goes off into the field at the back of us with her friends.

We live in an estate in that has large communal gardens all around and we’ve started to give our 8 year old a bit of freedom to cycle around our block of flats. Because of how the blocks are built, we can see him as he goes past our living room window and then past our kitchen window at the back as he goes around. We’ve started letting him expand his range to include going around the next block of flats along our side of the gardens and he has to check in every ten minutes or so. He had made a friend on the other side of the estate and he’s allowed to go and call for him, and then either come straight back or come back with his friend and play. We let them play outside in our part of the gardens.

It’s been a learning curve in letting him have a little bit of freedom.

I have just let my 9 year old gp for bike rides around the nearest couple of road. Only a couple of quiet roads she has to cross. I dont think I would let her go to the park yet but next year probably.

I think it depends on the 9yo. Mine has the sense of Donald Trump and wouldn’t be safe out alone!

Thanks for the replies!
