“Kids don’t play outside anymore” this isn’t true?

We keep hearing how nowadays kids spent all their time watching Tv, playing with phones and tables and not outside like they used to 30 years ago. This may be true for some but it isn’t for everyone or is not universal at all?

I live in south of Dublin and I live very close to a new estate they build with semi terrace houses and apartments. This new estate is full of parks and playgrounds and it’s very close to big nature and everyday (specially this time of the year till October) you see kids playing outside until 10/11pm everyday.

They ride bikes, they play football, they climb tress, they make games, play with the dogs, they play in the hoods and with mug, it really feels like the 80/90s but with modern houses and apartments nearby. It’s truly beautiful.

So I don’t get that this “kids don’t play outside anymore” applies to everyone or every region. Do you have similar experiences?
