And with public speeches through a microphone, that the whole park can hear?
Is that OK or a not-so-good thing to do and why?
Kids of every religion do to to that playground...
Most don't know what the party is about... but you know kids, they want to try the trampoline, of course. So the situation is somewhat uncomfortable!
LOL i'm not the one throwing the party.
Answer
Why does your God deny little children of different religions the joy of jumping on a trampoline? That's just wrong.
By the way, it's a PUBLIC park - you don't own it. Suck it up and be uncomfortable. I would personally protest if you were out there spewing your views on me while I was trying to enjoy the public land my taxes pay for. Or is it because you just don't you like to look into the eyes of those you scorn?

How do I teach my 5yr old autistic not to run away..he dsnt like us holding his hand and throws a huge tantrum
monik33
in public if we try....he has run away from his special ed classroom, and from the school building, in stores and restaurants he cant keep still. Discipline works in the house but not in public...Im tired of chasing him and Im always scared of losing him or something dangerous happening.
Answer
Have you tried a weighted vest or backpack? That might provide some feedback so that he doesn't want to run so much.
Many children with autism need a lot-i mean A LOT-of physical movement. You and his teachers might try to get a small trampoline, a child safe treadmill, an inflatable punching bag, anything that will let him work out his energies. You might request a consultation with a physical therapist or have a sensory integration assessment done.
Also, a lightweight halter strap such as this one...

will help when you are out in public. You will need to practice with it lots at home so that he is used to it. There are many other styles to choose from.
Teach him to come back when you call. Think of how you would teach a cuddly puppy to come when you call. I know that your son is not a puppy, but the principal is the same. Let him get a few steps away (at home) and call him. When he comes, lots of hugs and kisses and praise and a small reward (such as 1 M&M or 1 sticker). Do this over and over. Let him get far away and call him.
When I taught preschool kids with autism and other disabilities, I used a whistle and a certain number of blasts. We'd line up. I'd yell "run away!â They'd all run. Then I'd blow 5 tweets and they'd all run back and get a reward. (Eventually they'd all run back.) Someone else might have to run alongside him and turn him back when the whistle blows so that he learns to associate that sound with finding the person with whistle and getting a good reward.
Also, I have heard that some kids with autism are being taught to stop and wait whenever they come to a stop sign. That might help.
As for running out of the classroom....they can use similar techniques. If I were you though, I'd ask them to tell you at what times of the day is he running out and what is going on at those times. They might need to add more interesting activities into the schedule to keep him occupied while he learns to come.
Good Luck!
