Question
Is it permissible to take the children to a park with grass so they can play there?
Answer
Hello, running on grass on Shabbat is permitted as long as the grass is short and it is possible that running will not uproot the grass. Even though it is clear that during the entire game some grass will be uprooted, since in each action there is no certainty that grass will be uprooted, it is not a problem. However, if the grass is long and running will definitely uproot the grass, it is forbidden.
