A neighbor told me there's a way around it so I might investigate that. There are several nice parks within 5-10 minute drives. Our area has a lot of nice parks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2544228 Mon, 09 May 2016 08:57:07 +0000 snowjewelz 2544228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a decent one within 5-8 minutes walking distance. A giant, really great one with multiple playgrounds and toddler specific ones is about an 8-10 minute drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2542776 Fri, 06 May 2016 00:20:20 +0000 PurplePeony 2542776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two within a less-than-10-minute walk; four more within about 20 minutes. Dozens within a less-than-20-minute drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2542775 Fri, 06 May 2016 00:19:28 +0000 Dahlia 2542775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, just one block away. It's one of my favorite parts of where we live. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2542734 Thu, 05 May 2016 21:32:49 +0000 runnerd 2542734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is one park about 1/4mi from our house, but I don't like the playground there bc it's mostly wood and I worry about splinters. We usually drive to two others that are about 3mi from our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2542731 Thu, 05 May 2016 21:31:42 +0000 sapphire 2542731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our cul de sac has a small playground and then there are two good parks a short walk away plus two elementary school playgrounds. Several larger parks a long walk or short drive away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2542727 Thu, 05 May 2016 21:24:58 +0000 autumnlove 2542727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have a great park about 2 long blocks away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2542726 Thu, 05 May 2016 21:23:09 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2542726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We can walk to our neighborhood park in 10 minutes or drive there in 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2542717 Thu, 05 May 2016 20:58:02 +0000 mrsjazz 2542717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a couple of playgrounds nearby but we have the major park of our borough minutes from our apartment. We usually go every weekend in the summer because they have a splash center, bike rentals, playgrounds, a lake to feed ducks, and lots of grass for picnics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2542710 Thu, 05 May 2016 20:51:51 +0000 nana87 2542710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in a city and have a bunch of playgrounds within walking distance, so we are at the park a lot! My favorite was just renovated last year and is 3 blocks away. It has a really great water feature that lo was a little scared of last summer-- I'm hoping she'll enjoy it now that she's older! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2542691 Thu, 05 May 2016 20:24:24 +0000 Ms. RV 2542691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is a nice park about a seven minute drive from home but considering we pass three different farms to get there, it is really close!! Nothing is in walking distance except other houses in my plan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2542689 Thu, 05 May 2016 20:21:50 +0000 cat620 2542689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We currently rent our house, and we have to drive about 8 minutes to get to a good park. I would love to live within walking distance of one, so maybe that will happen when we buy a house. At the very least, I would like to live in a neighborhood with a playground and a swimming pool </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2542678 Thu, 05 May 2016 20:06:55 +0000 jhd 2542678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our nearest park is close enough to walk and they are working on a sidewalk so soon we will be able to walk to it! Before the path we felt it wasn't safe enough to walk to with LO as its a relatively busy street. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2542571 Thu, 05 May 2016 18:55:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 2542571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in the city, so several parks are walking distance. The nearest one is one block away. I can think of six with a mile and a half walk! Some are nicer than others though. That's something I will miss most when we move to the burbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2542565 Thu, 05 May 2016 18:51:04 +0000 FaithFertility 2542565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one 3 streets away :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2542563 Thu, 05 May 2016 18:50:56 +0000 regberadaisy 2542563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our elementary school playground is 2 blocks away. We always walk there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/local-parks#post-2542549 Thu, 05 May 2016 18:41:43 +0000 Boogs 2542549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have any good local parks that are walking distance from your home? Or do you have to actually get in the car to get to a good one?</p> <p>We have a pretty good one just around the block, so an easy walk. There are some other ones that are extra cool, but those are a 10-15 minute car ride away. </p>
