We are familiar with the park and have gone there many times it is a very safe place for kids to be and parents in general feel OK about letting their kids go there often with groups of other kids, such as boys wanting to play football, soccer, basketball, etc. During little League season, the place is full of parents\adults nearly all day either with games or practice. There is 4 baseball fields.

Our daughter has been around the skateboard area in the past watching the older kids either with us, or with friends' parents somewhere nearby. The difference is that this year she's being invited\encouraged to come and be part of the social group by older middle school students she has met already this year. Last year, she was just some unknown little girl watching off to the side (they probably never noticed her or her friends), this year she is now a cute 6th grader a few of the boys want to flirt with her and her friends after school. Somewhat like what happens with incoming freshmen girls in high school, except we are talking about a public park and just flirting, not a high school party with that might involve alcohol\drugs\etc.

We are just trying to come up with a set of conditions that we feel comfortable with.
