play areas and neighbor kids

Our parents committee asked me to get some feedback on this --

What experiences have other communities had with neighborhood kids using the
community's play areas or equipment?  What did you do that you feel resulted
in good experiences? How were bad experiences dealt with?  What are issues
we should think about?

One side of our property fronts on a street that until now was a dead-end
with our community and one other house. It has been connected to another
previously dead-end street, and about twenty-five homes (3 & 4BR) are going
in on the vacant land across from us.  So we're expecting a lot more contact
with neighbor kids than we've had.  The parents committee would like to be
proactive about setting some policies -- we want to be welcoming, but not
abused, and not to set ourselves up for liability or other problems.

We're discussing inviting the new families over for a common meal or
barbecue, to meet them and explain the community in a friendly way.  So
hopefully we will be acquainted with the neighbor kids' parents.

Thanks,
Kay
