I am seeing more playgrounds spring up within the city limits. Although there are still none in my neighborhood, I am glad to see more than before. It would seem that developers are also beginning to think about the children; new construction of residential buildings include playgrounds on the properties.
Society can not have conversations about childhood obesity or youth violence when there are no safe spaces for our children.

I agree! In Texas $4 billion just got cut from the funding of public education. And they’re expected inner city kids to graduate from high school? Check out my fitness and fashion blog, Beautiful Busy Bee. Thanks!

I agree with you: our children need places to play to keep them active and busy.
