Great, now I just need a local park. Our councillor promised one a year ago but we've heard nothing since. At this rate my kids will outgrow parks before one is built in our suburb.
Recently they put in a small play area (swings, slide, etc) into a random empty block of land, and suddenly it's full of families
Our neighbourhood is already full of kids and families. We're all over the road every afternoon and we've had to make our own playground with marketplace equipment in an empty space. Luckily the few neighbours without kids are onboard.
