The CA state regional public health orders allow retail and malls to stay open at reduced capacity, but requires all outdoor playgrounds to close.
I am yet to hear a public health explanation for that, good or otherwise, & am very concerned about impact on families & kids.

I represent a dense district where many families live in small apartments, often far from larger city parks. Where can they go outside safely for the next month? Malls? Here in SF we've invested a lot into staffing at playgrounds, signage, making sure they can be used safely.
If there's a good explanation for this other than "that's what the state said," I believe families deserve it, along with real solutions. Families and kids have been hit especially hard--it has taken a huge toll on their emotional, physical, academic and mental well being.
There's a state legislative effort to get the Governor to change the orders to allow playgrounds to remain open safely. Getting more info which I'll share soon.
