Nowadays, most parents are too busy to take their children out to parks or such places to play. They only get to visit the park once or maybe twice in a week.
In such cases, they do not get enough fresh air and sun necessary for healthy growth. Finding no alternative, they are forced to play between buildings, in corridors of residential apartments or in parking lots.
This exposes them to risk as accidents are most likely to happen in such situations. But we cannot blame them, as nobody would like to be confined to four walls for most of the week.
I have two brothers who spend almost all their free time playing. It would be highly appreciated if some space could be spared for young ones to play.
