Roswell offers safe play space to try Christmas toys
You child has just unwrapped that new bike or skate board for Christmas.
Now, where can he take it out for a little road test?
The Roswell Recreation, Parks, Historic and Cultural Affairs Department will provide “Holiday Toy Safe-Play Areas” in four city parks.
Specially barricaded areas in parking lots will be available from Dec. 25 through Jan. 3.
The following parks will have safe spaces:
- Roswell Area Park, 10495 Woodstock Rd., parking lot by the football/multi-use fields
- East Roswell Park, 9000 Fouts Rd., parking lot by the playground
- Waller Park Extension, 160 Dobbs Drive., parking lot by the playground
- Hembree Park, 850 Hembree Rd., parking lot by the playground
Families can bring bikes, scooters, skateboards, remote-control vehicles and other toys that require safe, open spaces.
A bit of warning for those drop-and-roll parents: These areas will not be staffed by the city. So if you plan to take your child to one of the designated areas, be prepared to spend a little quality family time. Adult supervision is highly recommended.
