Yes! About 6 blocks, there is one at an elementary school that's closer but obviously not always available (or ideal for toddlers).

There are several that I walk to but they take about 20 minutes to reach. Worth the walk though!

We have one about 1/2 mile away for the neighborhood, but our house also backs up to an elementary school and we have a gate in our fence.

We live walking distance to what I think is one of the city's largest parks (it used to be a naval station). Once DS can actually enjoy a park, I'll have to check it out

It's about half a mile away, and we don't go often. There is a large field down the street that we go to run around and kick a soccer ball.

yep! 3 playgrounds within walking distance. 1 is very close and the other 2 are about a 15 min walk, but we go to all 3 for variety.
cantaloupe / 6059 posts
Yes, about a ten minute walk. However it's not one of out favorites so we rarely go there.

A lot of them! Perk of living in the city (and necessary since we don't have a yard or outdoor space). There is one 2 blocks away, but within a ten minute walk there are at least 4 others, not counting schools, and a few more within twenty minutes or so walking. We walk a lot.

There's one that we can walk to, but it's a little far and there is a big hill. But! They're putting in a new one so so close to our house. I'm so excited!

This thread is making me feel so jealous our closest one is about a 5 minute drive away
pineapple / 12526 posts
Yep, like 3-4 actually. 2 of them a couple blocks away and 2 more within a mile that we've walked to before.

There's a playground with a five minute walk but they tore the equipment out in March and it's still an empty pit. We still go there to watch dogs at the dog park part.

One is a kitty corner away and the other is about 3 blocks away. My favourite is still the one in out old neighbourhood which is a 5 minute bike ride away.
blogger / pomegranate / 3044 posts
Yes, but its part of a school so off limits during the day! Our favorite one is a 5-10 minute drive away.
grapefruit / 4923 posts
yes, about a 5 minute walk. it's a nice change from our last place, which did not have a playground within walking distance.

Nope we have one in our neighborhood but it is a long walk across a busy street. We prefer to drive.
hostess / wonderful persimmon / 25556 posts
Yep, 3 houses down. It's just a little playset with a few slides but it's perfect for this age.

There is a great park with a playground, sports fields, and pool at the end of our street. It was a big selling point for our house.

Yes... but the ones closest to our house are homeless campgrounds. My mom takes the kids to them, but I try to avoid and drive to other playgrounds.
pomegranate / 3053 posts
Yes, it's walking distance of within 10 minutes though. Further than I'd like and it's not shaded so we never go in the summer. I wish we had one right downstairs!
wonderful pea / 17279 posts
Yes, the closest playground is across the street from our subdivision entrance.
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21628 posts
Yep, we can walk to the neighborhood park through the greenbelt trails.
grapefruit / 4671 posts
There are 7 playgrounds within a 5 block radius. Plus multiple parks, definitely a huge benefit of city living.

We have an awesome park right up the street. We usually drive there though.
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
Yep! It's like a 5 min walk in the neighborhood. Right now we take our dog there
pineapple / 12053 posts
we have two. they are about 20 minute walks. we go between walking/driving/biking to them.

We used to live within walking distance to two, but now we live in the country so we have to drive.
