Someone asked about schools - we observed several that were either pointed out to us or we recognized. They are usually two or more stories high and in between other buildings. They do have some play area and the ones we saw were paved. Most appear to be 30 or more years old and some of the ones that Helmut attended over 50 years ago are still in operation.
There are some major parks in the cities. We visited one in Cologne that had a large playground with lots of nice structures for the children.
Near Ursula's apartment there must have been a playground because you could hear lots of children at play. We couldn't see it because of all the trees.
Some homes have enough yard to have a little play area for the small kids. the apt. block that we were in had a grass area away from the street both in front and in back. My guess is that only those who live on the back of the building can access the back yard but I don't know that for sure.
There seems to be a lot of space around most villages - we didn't observe many kids in these area but it was school time.

Somehow I missed this post about the parks and schools. I find it rather interesting that the schools are sandwiched in between other buildings. Are hospitals the same way? Pat
