Apartment complex bans kids from playing outside

Fliers around the Sterling Park Apartments in Portland, Oregon have been posted to notify residents that kids living there are not allowed to play outside. 
As reported by KPTV Fox 12, the notifications were hung on Thursday morning. 

The station spoke to several residents who said it was the first time they heard of the “no play” policy. 

The flier states, “residents will not be permitted to play in halls, stairways, or entrances of buildings, gardens or landscape areas except where specifically permitted." Melissa Petri, a mom in the complex, said, “When I investigated further there are no such things. There is no area designated for them to play in.” 

The rules eliminate the entire apartment grounds except for the pool. The complex has designated areas for dogs, but none for children.
