Community TIPS


If you don’t have a community leader, don’t hesitate to post to your community’s WhatsApp to see who would like to meet up. You may be surprised at how many responses you get. We also urge you to step up as leader, or talk to another member and initiate co-leadership.
If your community is having trouble getting started, book a few playdates in a spot that you and your child(ren) enjoy. Post all playdates on the community WhatsApp. Even if there’s no response, make sure you go—experience has shown us that some people will show up anyway!

Bad weather can often derail community plans. But one way to avoid interruptions—whether it’s too hot or wet for playground slides or the host is sick—is to have a back-up plan in place. You can choose a “bad-weather” spot where you’ll meet so you always have have a Plan B.

Try new parks and spots to meet. This is a wonderful chance to explore all the great places in Marin. Check out our recommendations in the Parents' Survival Guide 2025—it’s a great resource that lists local parks and other fun things to do with kids.
