Starbuc71 162 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I guess they want all the kiddies secure for all the parents who ignore and don't watch their children. I guess it's a good idea but taking away from the fort feel. Looks like a dog park for kids. Hope something better is coming out of it since now they are covering the fence with a tarp. They are doing the same with the playground by the pool [/URL] [/URL] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 During our stay over the 4th, they closed the Meadow playground, added timbers around it, then filled it with mulch. They told my wife it was to comply with some sort of safety standards and they were making it 9 inches deep. Now the kids can get bathing suits full of sharp mulch pieces.

Starbuc71 162 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I just noticed in the pics it's hard to see the fence. They chain linked right over the sidewalks so I'm hoping its temporary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So sounds like the fences are just temporary while they do those updates. I can't zoom in on the sign in that photo to see what it says but it looks like it could be one of those "pardon our dust.." signs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They used temporary white fencing with T bar feet that sat on top of the ground, and they were tie wrapped together to each other during the meadow construction. Someone on a different FB site said they were digging holes for fencing around the settlement playground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe given the Settlement playground's proximity to the beach they really are going to fence it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuc71 162 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 The meadows playground has the white temp fence the main playground has cement poles in for the chain link. The sign is a pardon our dust sign plus the main playground has the soft rubber flooring which I believe is code Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They removed it 7/5 when we were there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't surprise me that this is a result of the alligator attack but I don't know why they wouldn't fence in the swings too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I doubt this is because of gators. More so safety requirements and easier to keep track of kids Quote Link to post Share on other sites

More so safety requirements and easier to keep track of kids Like I said, there are too many parents who don't keep track of their kids these days and let them do what they want. It's a shame if that's why they are putting the fence up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I like the fort dark with out a lot of light to me it fits the theme better. But what that play ground needed more than a fence is light. The swings are fine but that play ground is to dark at night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
