Goose Green Playground

[legalbeagle]

I think that the playground is now fully open. Fences were being removed when I was there so hopefully that means its open for good!

Hallelujah

Got a text from my mum yesterday afternoon while she was playing with her grandson in the newly opened playground, which was alarming for 2 reasons.

1) Mum doesn't know how to text

2) it read ' Moosling is doing the Death Walk'

eek!

[Ted Max]

I like that rope walk.

1. It will teach kids a bit of risk assessment, school of hard knocks, value of a good thrashing etc etc

2. It might engage the "sit on the bench with a coffee and let other carers/parents rescue my kids" to get off their arse and play with their kids/clients.

This post was brought to you by "is this your child with the bleeding nose?" holier-than-thou Ted Max poster.

So are the swings going to be new and improved?

[Tarot]

But is there going to be a toilet?

I dont like the idea of tunnels though,kids out of sight could be bullied or worse.

Dubiuos people could hide in them too.

Just thought I,d mention it.

[Saila]

What was wrong with the swings?

[Gussy]

They are putting down the new soft matting stuff underneath I think. Spoke the one of the builders, but he was only there to flatten and level the area. Another company are coming in after to lay the matting......hope they hurry up, we go most days and my little lass is missing the swings!

[Moos]

The tunnels are a very dangerous installation indeed... anyone who's seen them will know that literally* dozens of slavering paedophiles, hairy-fisted bullies and indeed good old-fashioned monsters taking a holiday from under kids' beds could be lurking there.

*OK, not literally.

Also, have I spelt slavering correctly?

[Tarot]

When drug takers use it as a meeting place, and leave needles etc thre,then it wont seem so funny.

[Saila]

are you talking about those little red tunnels? the ones that would never hide my arse in a million years, let alone a pack of drug fueled paedos?

[camberwellbeauty]

Personally I don't think drug takers will be (a) able (b) arsed to find the tunnels, crawl inside them, then shoot up. But then neither do I think there are 'dubious people' lying in wait for my children in the tunnels .....

Playgrounds in East Dulwich tend to be full of kids. And parents. And quite nice ones at that. Or am I being terribly blind / naive?

I can think of no better place to shoot up with my mates than 3 ft long 3 ft high red tunnel in Goose Green park....

[Moos]

Stop ruining the fun... was delightful watching Tarot frothing over the risks.

My 1 year old son had fun in one of those red tunnels today.

He was high on Calpol at the time.

Hee hee!

[derbyean]

Calpol and bonjella are very useful drugs for infant tunnellers.

[LadyDeliah]

Tarot, why on earth would you even comment about the tunnels being dangerous if you hadn't even seen them?

[Tarot]

Thats a good point L.D.

I assumed it was in the planning stage,and no one mentioned it was three foot tot tunnel.already built.

I was remembering a young girl that got dragged into a tunnel in a playground up north and murdred.

I presumed to much. just pass me the Carpol, and I,ll go away.::o

[OliviaDee]

take something stronger than calpol and then come back. you're good value!

[jctg]

Does anyone know when the playground is reopening?

Ah, don't worry, no doubt Southwark Council will be sending someone in to massacre that poor tree soon too..... :'(

[mumof3girlies]

I heard it is due to open on 31st Mar but they didn't look very ready this morning! (maybe put a rush on later this afternoon)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Well they were still working on it at 7pm last night, so they're probably doing their best.
