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!
We love this playground, but it has become unsafe in the hot months due to lack of sun protection. The slides, swings, etc can get extremely hot. Such a bummer than the large trees were cut down last year with no immediate action plan to update the shade issue. Would love to see this issue remedied quickly!
My youngest daughter, Hope, suffered a birth injury and now has multiple disabilities. Having a safe, all-inclusive space to play in our hometown area would mean Hope and her sisters can play together on a playground, which they currently can’t do. Our town’s playgrounds are older and lacking. Once, in a neighboring town, my kids used a co-swing together, where they were able to safely swing with Hope and see each other face-to-face while swinging. The children were all smiles. Other children wanted a turn to swing with Hope, too. It was a beautiful experience. Not only is an all-inclusive playground a great place for children with disabilities, but it also provides a better environment, for all children, where they can learn to interact with disabled children and be better for it. All-inclusive playgrounds also bring new people to the community, giving it a chance to economically prosper. It is a win win for all.
