Sure a small backyard isn't great... But I live in a major city and instead we just walk to the enormous park, which is way bigger than any backyard.
It's a very different mindset that I thought I'd hate but now that I'm here I couldn't imagine it any other way.
- yourusername 5y agoThe enormous parks here were closed multiple times over the past 2 years. I'll never depend on such amenities again because they can be taken at will.
- Pasorrijer 5y agoHow did they close them? In Toronto they put up caution tape. The people walked through it. They placed reasonable restrictions, and the unreasonable ones were ignored. Honestly one of the biggest benefits of the pandemic (and there were very, very few) was the transition of classrooms, community and family events to the parks. I've never seen them so active and busy and it gave a liveliness to the neighbourhood that was refreshing.

In the suburbs you typically have both. We have a yard to play in (not huge, but a good yard with a few trees to climb, a treehouse, etc) and we have a large park about 1 minute away on foot. It's not only the major cities that have parks.
