Description

Everyday at Manor Park, basketballs from the players on the court come flying into the playground where little babies sit in strollers and toddlers, who can barely walk or just started walking, are playing. I've already seen little toddlers get whacked in the face/head very hard by basketballs. I feel like we are unwittingly participating in a game of dodge ball! I stay by my kids at all times and I'm always swatting away basketballs that regularly come flying into the playground. Last week, I was placing my two kids into their cart that I pull behind my bike and they almost got smashed in the face again. Luckily I saw the ball coming at the last second and blocked it. Ask any parent at the playground and they will have the same complaint. All we need is just one tall section of fence between the court and the playground to solve this dangerous issue. Please take immediate action and correct this huge oversight in the planning of this playground. It's a very simple fix that will eliminate a constant danger to all kids and adults in the playground. Plus,I'm sure the basketball players will appreciate not having to chase after their basketballs and the beautiful plants will be spared unnecessary damage from the basketballs also.
