We have a very nice big, level yard and the neighbor kids like to play here...We only use it when my grandsons come over..so I told the other children to go ahead and play over here whenever they want...they are good kids, and they clean up..There is always a parent to supervise...right now they are playing crochet....I am glad they have a safe place to play....

oh wow that is such a nice thing to do, to share your space, and it is good that you have grownup to supervise I think that is a wise mood, I bet your house sounds like a happy place to be, the sound of happy kids playing, that a good thing. You have a good soul...

when I was a little girl we had a shed in the yard and I had a permanent littl shop and a blackboard so I could play school and shop. So I would collect a lot of empty boxes for my shop and play school with my dolls...its good to have somewhere good to play.

that was a really nice idea. a place that children could be safe and at the same time a place where they can play and enjoy being a child. there should always be someone to supervise them at all time.

thank you..There are 4 families that use it now..Some of the children are teens, and the young ones are 5 and 4 year olds..There is always supervision...there is no street and nothing to get hurt on...plenty of safe toys to play with..they all play well together.....6 or more children are usually back there....we shared it for the 4th and had fireworks....
