This might be the case in the YOP guzzling, new, suburban sub-divisions but in the older, established communities in Calgary the playgrounds are almost always less than 100m from the roadways and if there is any sort of fencing it is that old school steel wire spanning between wooden posts about 3 feet off the ground. It really does nothing to keep kids inside of a playground area.
I'm surprised so many people have a lot of resentment towards playground and school zones.
