I like running about on the grass with a ball, just BORING at the slides etc. Ours is horrid metal and tarmac type park

I love the grassy woody ones

We live near a Forestry Commission place and it is excellent.

Porc lives near another one at Moors Valley which is even better as it has a steam railway which my ds adored last year on hols.

Is this a variation on "Other people's children - shite"?

I agree at times parks can be mindnumbing. DD and her friends just run off and play, and I just sit there. I have to admit that we don't go much, even though we have a lovely one right on the estate here. Can't wait till she is old eough to go on her own regarding pakrs!

I don't mind nice big green parks in the summer, picnic on the go, other adults to chat too, etc.

Last time I bothered to take the dds to the park, parents were almost coming to blows over turns on the two baby swings.

We waited for ages until it was quiet, and finally got a turn. Then a mum appeared with a toddler screaming "I want to go on the swings" and trying to get near. After about 20 seconds on the swing, it was too much to take the poor boy's misery, and after many evil looks from the mums with him, I pulled dd out of the swing to let him on.

Cue her going ballistic and even then all I got from the other mum was a tut. Not even a grateful look.

That's when I decided it was shitty shite at the park

we have a lovely park that we pass on the way home from school - perfect for the ages my children are , and we stop off most days afterschool. Tires them out so they are starving when we eat and go to sleep really easily. I do get bored, but they have lots of fun. Usually lots of other mums there too, so we can have a natter while the kids run about

not really park, it's a playground
