      My guy , they specifically stated “playgrounds”. Other than loitering what is a childless adult doing sitting in the kids play structure , the kids slides or kids swings? Everyone will be welcomed at the park but not the playground for the kids. Maybe two specific adult swings can be installed separately because you know sometimes it’s urgent to just get on a swing at a park. I actually have had to tell my kids to stay with me and not get close to the adults standing by the baby size structure because they were loitering - no kids. As an adult myself at one point I had no kids and not once did I experience the urge at a park to sit at playground structures with random little kids. I guess your right it’s everyone’s preference but, drawing a line so the kids can better enjoy the tax money we invested for them to play freely and safely is a good idea to me.

      You work out at a playground for children? Did you watch the video at all. Did anyone? You're allowed to go to the park but not the playground without a child. It's just an ordinance being revised still before it goes into law.

      And I go in the late night hours when there's little to no kids using that equipment to not stand in their way.

      @@raqueltoledo5660 right on. There are some parks where I've lived that had workout areas separate from the playground to increase physical health. I live in OC so I see why LB would be doing this.

    "Hey honey, I'm going to the park." Partner responds by asking why. Reply: "I'm going to play on the new slide, you know, to reminisce." Yeah, right. Smh. Allowing a lone adult to hang out in a playground provides the visual conditions to potentially develop a predatorial mindset.

      I go to playgrounds for comfort reasons as an adult because I'm autistic and they're very relaxing places that make me feel safe because of the memories of them from childhood. There are plenty of adults who enjoy the throwback to childhood playgrounds can bring, disabled or otherwise.

    Awesome policy! But some of these counties or states are passing laws to abort newborns or to pass their gender "teachings". There's a hipocresy in what they think it's best for our children, instead of what we want for our kids.

    This is good you have sexual predators that work out (really) on children's playground. Go to South Gate park you will see that as well. If you argue that you have rights to be by a playground without a child then chances are your a pervert
