How far do you live from a park?

[Curlewwoohoo]

Inspired by another thread about what age you let your kids go to the park alone. Several posts it sounds like the park is very close, which means kids can play alone at an earlier age.

We live in the centre of a market town, we have 3 parks but they are all 20 minutes walk, with some main roads. I can't imagine letting the kids go alone until maybe the summer before senior school. They would need to have some street sense. And maybe a phone.

So, how close is your park?!

5 miles

100 metres to common woodland. Not exactly a park, but we're surrounded by fields and trees so a park really isn't necessary.

The closest formal park is about three miles away.

About a 3 minute walk away.

There is a park at the end of our road. Best thing about our house. Lots of memories of picnics in the park with DS growing up. Really useful for dog walking too. If we move it will be what I miss most. It’s such a lovely park.

Five minutes walk to a small park, 15 minutes down the hill is an enormous park with tennis courts, cycle track, two cafes, rose garden, two playgrounds. I'm very lucky.
