I completely agree with the OP. A dead strip of grass because kids used that space as a waterslide is no better or worse or even different than a scalped infield because kids used that space to play baseball, softball and kickball. Just let the kids play and enjoy themselves.
Brandon MullenHot take: the cost of repairing GRASS is well worth making sure kids have something fun and social to do outside during the summer. It's GRASS. Give me a fucking break. www.wweek.com/news/city/20...
