Just because it is listed doesn't mean you have to go find it. Just skip
those placed in playgrounds.

Subject: [GeoStL] Caches in kids playgrounds
-
Lately I have been feeling very frustrated with caches being placed in kids
playgrounds, particularly busy ones. There are a couple I have gone to 3
times and have not been able to hunt the caches with kids playing on the
toys. There is even one by me that the directions indicate you have to
climb up on the kids toys to get the cache.
If you go hunting those caches when the kids are there (which is most of the
time) you are likely to get the cops called on you as a child molester or
something like that.
You are usually told the area is busy so you need to be discrete. How can
someone without a little kid with them be discrete?
It seems to me a cache should not be placed in a location that is not
reasonably accessible most of the time. When you look at these cache pages
you see lots of comments about the problems with the kids, but the owners do
not seem to get it.
What is the best way to deal with a cache in a kid's playground? I think
there needs to be a rule not allowing a cache in a children's playground. I
also think if you need to be discrete to retrieve a cache, it is likely not
in a good location.
