We have narrowed our focus to Wesley Chapel or Weddington area in Union County. We have researched many aspects, have looked at the area, did comparative studies of the schools etc.

What I'm looking at now is more of the day to day living with being a SAHM with two little ones (ages 2 and 3). We love to go to parks, playgrounds, spraygrounds, and safe areas for little ones to enjoy themselves. I haven't really been able to locate to much information on the local parks and playgrounds, or things to do with this age group.

I'd love any ideas or suggestions for such places. Thank you.

FYI - I tried to join this group but was advised that you need to either be in the process of relocating or be there already in order to join...There are also several groups online for some individual schools but again these are not public forums and you need to join and be approved...most of them, you need to reside in the area.

I guess they are careful to screen people and confirm the purpose of someone seeking membership. It could be a draw for people with bad intentions. Sad that we have to think that way today, but true.

From what I was told it is a support group for those in the area and I agree it is sad to think some would join with bad intentions but at least since they are picky as to who can join, you can get real support and help on the forum
