The playground is not a gym!

[rjamz]

Roar. There are like 3 people on the playground (which isn't very big) using it as a gym. They don't have kids or anything, they're just using it to work out. WTF? Jamie.is freaked out bc they're using the play structure

OMG. Dude, you are my NYC snobby park twin. This happened ALL THE TIME at our park in Frankfurt. Even when kids were playing. It was insane.

That seems really weird?

[muppetinma]

I'd grab him, throw him on the playground equipment that the jocks are using, and say very loudly "Jamie, I know you have a poopy diaper, but mommy didn't bring anything to change you. Why don't you play a little bit longer, then we'll go home. I hope you don't leak!" Hopefully it'll gross them out enough to leave.

That is really bizarre.

My mailman does the same thing! He does pull ups, chin ups, and other similar exercises on the play stuff. It's annoying and weird!

See, IMO as long as they're not getting in the way of the kids, I don't see this as an issue.

But, then, I'm also the person that was googling "playground workouts" the other day...

And the ones in Frankfurt grunted! It was nasty!

In that case, they're a-holes.

Lol, they grunt here too

Never would it occur up me to workout at a playground, without my own kids, even if I did work out.

I find this strange. But I was at a playground this weekend that actually had stickers on it showing you how to use the playground to get a work out, it even had added attachments for pull ups.

[orriskitten]

We have a few of those. The worst is they bring hand radios as they work out. Mel hasn't noticed them since they're usually on the big kid stuff, but I've seen some of the older kids looking so confused when they want to do the monkey bars but can't because Mr. buff with the annoying music is in the way. And the radio is usually hooked to one of the monkey bars, too.

Tell them to move on. I mean it is a playground. For children. Tell them that it is really uncomfortable having them there and then ask them "isnt it kind of weird hanging out in a playground sans children? I mean it could give people the wrong idea..." I bet that would move them quickly!

I think it's actually against the rules posted to hang out on the playground if you don't have a kid

So...umm...my favorite workout class ever was a boot camp class I did in DC where we worked out on playground equipment.

This is so strange!!

[monkeybabe]

I wouldn't take issue with it if they weren't in the way. Since they are in the way, they need to GTFO.
