hello me and my family have lived in NRH for 4 years now. I have two boys 9 and 5. we live in an older neighborhood off davis and smithfield across from Hometown. My boys are desperate for friends to play with. they have many friends at school (one is open enrolled to green valley and thr other is at fort worth christian) but we don't have any kids in the neighborhood and it seems so hard to schedule playdates with their school friends.. I miss the days when I was a kid and we had like 30 kids in the neighborhood and we would always be outside playing kickball or tag or riding our bikes. parents would have block parties or cook outs and all the kids would come. I know these still exist but they seem to be in higher end neighborhoods like Dallas or frisco or even Richardson but I have rarely heard of any neighborhoods like that around here. but I have posted on Facebook and nextdoor to try to find them and had no luck so im trying here.

basically we are just wanting to find more friends around the neighborhood. my boys love being outside and prefer being with other kids playing over sitting at home doing video games. but sometimes that's all they have to do because we have no kids around here and I can't afford to always take them to an indoor place. I try the parks but they are bored playing by themselves and want other kids. is there any moms that have kids our kids ages that would want to do playdates? that have fun neighborhoods where kids are always outside playing that would love to have more kids join? we would love to be a part of that. Just want my kids to experience what I did as a kid and have the same kind of fun I did. Or even if there's just mom groups around where moms and kids get together? were desperately trying to meet more people in our community but I WFH so it's hard to meet people.
