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.
Hannah supported: Request for Fencing Around Virginia PlaygroundsHaving 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.
Cheryl supported: Request for Fencing Around Virginia PlaygroundsWe 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.
Amanda supported: Request for Fencing Around Virginia PlaygroundsAs 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.
Ashly supported: Request for Fencing Around Virginia PlaygroundsThe 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!
Jessica supported: Request for Fencing Around Virginia PlaygroundsMy sweet 9-year-old son has endured unimaginable abuse at the hands of his father—a CMPD police officer. He has come home with unexplained burns, object-shaped bruises (typically on his back), and has suffered five dog attacks while in his father’s care—three of them to his face.
In January 2025, a longtime friend of my ex—someone who had known him for over 20 years—reached out to me through Instagram. She shared horrifying details of abuse she had personally witnessed, including an incident where she saw my ex holding our son by the throat, pinned against the wall, with his feet off the ground.
This finally led to his arrest on February 5, 2025, in Iredell County.
But just two days after he bonded out, the Council for Children’s Rights (CFCR) testified in court. Despite everything, they told the judge, “Aiden loves his father,” and recommended that my son continue having visitation (supervised) with his abuser.
Now, every weekend from Saturday at 9 a.m. until Sunday at 6 p.m., my son is forced to return to the man who has traumatized him.
Since these visits resumed, my son’s emotional health has deteriorated drastically. Just two weeks ago, he was admitted to the hospital due to the severity of his mental state.
Who sends a victim back to their abuser?
CFCR does.
This is not just a personal tragedy—it is a systemic failure. Children like mine deserve to be protected, not retraumatized by the very institutions that claim to advocate for them.
