Can we still go to our local park?

[Keepgoing88]

On lockdown. Can I take my kids to our local park. The play area section I mean.

No

Absolutely not.

No

All play areas are off limits.

No
Parks are open for walking so if it's very close you could take your one walk a day there, staying away from others

Play equipment is one of the worst holders of the virus so don't let them on it

No. You can walk around the green space, you can go for a bike ride/walk, but you cannot play on equipment.

The virus can last for days on the equipment.

No. Ours have all been fenced off to prevent this too.

Absolutely not. Playgrounds are one of the very dangerous areas.

No more than 2 people together in public so no family outings

No way

No

Stay.at.home.

No. It's clearly included in the list of places/areas to close.

I despair!!!

I really hope your council have been as sensible as ours and closed all the parks (they did this yesterday before Boris’ announcement)

No more than 2 people together in public so no family outings
That is not correct. You can go out with members of your family for exercise. The 2 limit does not apply.

Troll. Good one.

Thanks. Just asking. So much news out there! @SapphireSalute I suppose you would prefer it if I had not asked and then just taken my kids to the park then? I despair!

What do you mean “so much news out there”? All you needed to do was listen to Boris last night to know we’re essentially in lockdown.

@PurpleDaisies but I didn't understand about whether parks could be used as the one amount of daily exercise. Shoot me for asking!

Op people are on edge don't take it personally. We'll be using our park for our daily exercise by going for a walk. I've told mine the play park is sadly closed for now.
