I’m not against the kids having fun .. but there might have been another reason to stop the sledding.
If the snow is not that deep, sledding on it can damage the grass underneath .. causing it to die.
So .. maybe the rule was to prevent having to replace all that lawn .. by USING TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
Geeeeee .. I guess nobody thought of that.
No lawns in the Constitution. Plant kudzu.
Have you been paying attention to the snowfall in the DC area this past winter? They have a couple feet to work with.
Grass is replaceable. Childhood isn’t.
As the article says, it’s so parents won’t sue the city if their kid gets hurt on public property.
