Cohousing-L Mailing List: Children's facilities

[Paul B. Chen (pzbc]

The core group of East Lake Commons (Atlanta, GA) is one week away from 
an intensive weekend of design workshops with Chuck Durrett.  The focus 
of this workshop is the common house and common spaces.  As only one of 
two involved parties with children, I would like to ask the list what 
kinds of children's facitilies do other cohousing communities have, other 
than a playroom in the common house and some playground equipment.  

In our case, our children are young - 1-1/2 and 3-1/2.  However, the 
other set of children are 10 and 15.  And of course, who knows what other 
children we might add along the way to full occupancy.  So, I welcome 
comments and suggestions regarding facilities for children of all ages, 
though I am especially interested in hearing about those for young 
children.
