Yesterday was the 1st Playgroup at the Park of 2012. Stefanie organized, hosted (and did a fabulous job) and had Greg the Puppeteer, also a UH neighbor, do a show for the kiddies. The sun was out and the kids were eager to run since it had been raining all morning.
The Friday at the Park Playdate (from 4-6pm, weather permitting) is a great way to meet your neighbors and have some parent/child socialization time.
I admittedly haven't gone very often because my own two boys are a year apart and a bit of a terror on the playground in the sense that they run in opposite directions and climb 7 feet off the ground then take wobbly steps towards a slide or ring course whilst I have heart palpitations. But times, they are a'changing and my kids are getting older *tears* and listening better *knock on wood* so I plan to attend more frequently.
To answer a question from a neighbor last week, Stefanie is the Director of the UH Playgroup which encompasses all ages. All are welcome to attend the park playdates. There is an annual fee of $20 that provides members with snacks & other fun benefits.
Tawn is the Director of the Baby Toddler Playgroup which was originally formed out of the need for a separate baby-safe environment for the young & defenseless ;) to gather without the potential of stick-wielding 5-year olds knocking the crawlers out of the tunnel tube. (Next year, my own son will be a stick-wielding 5-year old so I plan to graduate him from the BTP.)
These days the BTP is necessary for its original intent and also because with close to 100 members it is definitely its own entity. New parents are moving in and springing up all over UH. 
Both playgroups work together to make this neighborhood a place of friendship and fun for families.
