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 PlaygroundsI have an Autistic daughter. She will run off and even if you tell her to stop she will not stop. If you grab at her she will recoil or possibly even push you away with one arm and say no.
Her only chance if she encounters a police officer is either that she is still very young, the officer doesn’t attack because she is a girl, or the officer is properly trained and never jumps straight to action.
I can’t even put myself in my friends shoes. Both his son and daughter are autistic and like my daughter it’s bad. They are both non compliant. So he has a boy that is dark skinned and at some point that boy is going to be tall and teenage. I’m worried about cops attacking my daughter especially after seeing that cop who body slammed that 100LB teen into concrete with no provocation. It’s worse for men and it’s worse for dark skinned people.
William supported: Mandatory Autism & Mental Health Training for First Responders, Educators & ResourcesMy son has autism and was taken advantage of and used by druggies. Yet he's paying the excessive price. They wanted to send him to state mental hospital, very bad place to restore him to prosecute. I threw a fit telling them he's not insane, he's autistic! The court sentenced him with 2 felonies. For someone with the mental capacity of approximately 16 socially and elementary in comprehension, reading and writing. I felt it was excessive for someone with autism. I truly believe autistic people are really smarter and highly intelligent and lifted. However, it's trapped inside them, making communication very difficult for them. The judge should have shown some compassion but didn't. He's still on probation and none of the probation officers know anything about special needs or autism. It was shameful and disgusting to witness as his mother. I will never give up on him. He's finally getting help in developmental disability program but Medicaid makes the process extremely difficult to get him the help with living skills he desperately needs. This young man is going far if we can just keep these druggies and freeloaders from taking advantage of and manipulating him. He was almost off welfare when he met this bad person who got him into soo much trouble. It breaks my heart he's doesn't understand when someone is using him or manipulating and taking advantage of him.
From a loving autistic mom.
