Playground Etiquette
As we transition into this new era, each of us need to play our part to keep one another safe, there are a few changes to our typical park etiquette that Frankston City Council would like us all to keep in mind when using these playground spaces;
Suggestions and Tips:
- Stay two metres apart from others outside of your group
- If it's too busy, come back another time or try another park
- Be courteous and kind to others – everyone has their own version of what is and isn't safe right now, give people space and the benefit of the doubt
- Pack some hand sanitiser and disinfectant wipes (remember to take home what you brought with you)
- Consider going in non-peak times, like early in the morning or late afternoon
