I try to go first thing in the morning or when no one else is there. By 10 am there are about 3 other daycares at the park and other parents and it becomes a disaster. I only go if we are alone there or with one other set of kids.

Also...in the summer we stick to our backyard more often. The grass is nice and dry and we don't lose time walking to and from the park and there is shade in the morning
