Researchers say the way kids play has quietly transformed over the past three decades, with fewer children playing outside.
Sometimes, Dennis Lim’s street is a little too quiet. Growing up in Oceanside, Lim remembers his neighborhood cul-de-sac bursting with life. Most afternoons, his parents would raise the door to their garage and set Lim loose to play freely with little supervision.

Decades later, Lim is a parent with two elementary school-age kids of his own.
He lives at the end of another cul-de-sac, this time in a residential neighborhood in northern San Diego — a perfect place for a good game of street baseball. “There just aren't any kids outside,” Lim said on a recent morning. “I could stand outside my house for two hours and I would not see a single kid.” Lim isn’t alone in noticing this change.
