Oak grove park is beautiful. However, parents should be afforded peace of mind when their kids are playing on the playground via a fence around said playground. Being an area that kids are running around, parents should not have to be anxious that their kid could run away into the water in a split second. The choice should be afforded to parents about whether they want their kids to be playing near the water or not; it should not be forced on them as an option as they are trying to enjoy a family day outside with their kids. There absolutely needs to be a fence around every playground.
Having lived in Virginia for many years,taking my son to many of the parks,I believe that any park located near any body of water should be fenced. Toddlers, more so then any age,are quicker then most of us realize. It should be a top priority to do anything we can to keep them safe. It takes a village and we are all part of that village and need to raise awareness for the safety that is needed for our children.
We have only been to this park in specific once. There is so much foot traffic and with the water so close it was very worrisome for me with both kids at once. A (1) gate fence would be a great addition to all parks to keep kids safe. Accidents happen faster then we all would like them to.
As Mother of three toddlers I would love to see this, we have driven from Norfolk to Williamsburg just to take the kids to a nice fenced in park. This isn't a lack of attention issue it's just common sense to help keep kids safe.
The lack of fence is the only reason I have never visited this park. My daughter is known to elope and I could never trust this location. A playground fence at all playgrounds is so needed!
