To ask how old your dc were when you let them go to the park alone?

[Userwho]

Park is over the road from house, less than 2 min walk but you have to cross the road. If you walk 20 or so steps from front door you can see the playground. Road not busy and cars often slow down to let children cross. Lots of children out on their own.

At what age would you let your dc go alone?

5/6 with 6-7 yo friends and dog. Not a park, just a farm track, stream, fields and woods. No mobiles then ... had loud whistle meaning they had to come back home immediately. They had the time of their lives building dens and picknicking. Not sure I'd it the same way now.
