Playgounds all over Ireland are locked up and families are prevented from entering and playing in them. The playgrounds are closed in order to stop the spread of Covid19 and along with schools were one of the things that were closed very quickly early in the pandemic. I guess the thinking is that children need to very much stay in doors away from others as they can be vectors for the virus as well as being symptom free and of course children of a young age would not understand the concept of social distancing.
This time has been tough for children and parents. They can't see their grandparents, schools are closed and their routines are gone and then some are confined to very close spaces with many families living in very small apartments in Ireland with no balconies. Children are resilient though, they will get through this.
Ranelagh Park was very quiet - we walked through it in order to give the dog a bit of a run on the way to the shops this morning. But when busy at times, the council has spray painted handy reminders on the ground in order to get the message of social distancing across to park visitors.
