Open the playgrounds ffs

[Ori37]

Surely playgrounds can be opened now? It’s hot weather, the kids are bored shitless & there’s a nation of parents who are fed up to the back teeth of crafts & entertaining pre-schoolers with tantrum-loaded walks. I am so fed up. Just please open the playgrounds now!

I have been moaning about this on Twitter! None the wiser about when it's happening as no one in authority is replying to me. YANBU!!

I thought they’d announced they would be opening from July 4th? I definitely could be wrong though 😂
Honestly I can’t wait, we have a playground right outside and my daughters love the swings!

BBC website says they will from 4.7.20.

It’s on the bbc that they are opening on July 4th. Along with theme parks and...model villages.

There was three families using our local playground at the end of last week, I noticed when we went for a walk, so I assumed they'd already be reopened!

Oh you’ve all made my day, hopefully they will reopen on the 4th. I’ve had enough

Yes officially from July 4th but if it's quiet I wouldn't hesitate going

I think it’s June 29th in Scotland?

They won't be opening on 4 July. Found out as climbing centre can't open as it is also in the "gym" category 😠

Outdoor playgrounds from 4 July. No indoor playgrounds.

Outdoor playgrounds can reopen in England on 4th July if they are "safe" I assume this means the council have to pick up litter, might have to trim bushes if they overhang the area etc

My house backs into a park wit a large adventure playground in it ,nobody appears to have given a shit about the " rules " and parents have been letting their kids on the playground for weeks 🙄

More outdoor spaces will open if they can do so safely, including outdoor gyms and children's playgrounds
From BBC news

flamingo they're doing that here now, have been all along, toilets are open too

They are emptying the bin here but I see discarded gloves and stuff when I walk past.

If I'm by a quiet, unobstructed playground then it's fair game. I spent a wonderful hour shivering away in a sharp wind watching the kids playing with an energy that they haven't had in weeks. Well worth it.
