Where the Kids Are!

Hi Ladies, I need to get my 2 1/2 year old out to play with other kids during the day, anytime between 12-3 or so. I live in Irvine and there are tons of beautiful parks, but many without fences. I have a 6 month old as well, so I can't always get up and run to chase the 2 1/2 year old. Plus darn it, I'm tired. A lot of times we go to McDonalds so I can have an ice coffe and SIT while he plays in an area that is safe, and fenced in and I dont have to run all over! plus I feel like a nut sometimes driving from park to park searching for kids for him to play with. He is social and appreciates ANY playmates. Any suggestions? I have him in preschool 2 mornings a week, but that is all we can afford for now.

Check out the http://moms.meetup.com There are a TON of mom's groups all over for all different people!

As far as an area that is fenced in. Check out atlantis park (google it, it's in Garden Grove). It only has one entry and exit. Also, check out Amy's Playground in Pasadena, and jump n jammin in mission viejo. There is also Hullabaloo's clubhouse in Orange. Good luck!!

Hi
There are 3 moms club groups in Irvine. I think it depends on which one is closer. Moms clubs do scheduled park days, playgroups, moms nite out etc. Here is the link:

Hi: My suggestion is you join a MOPS group (Mothers of Preschoolers). They are designed exactly for what you are talking about. I ran a search for the 10 closest to Irvine for you. Here are the results:

Please contact the MOPS group before attending so they can arrange for childcare and supplies.
