garde is meant for playing by the kids . you can pass resolution in the Managing committee that in case any window panes are broken the repair charges will be paid by the kids playing in the garden .

If you feel any problem due to play of kids, can personally contact the society to restrain them and reserve park only for walk and meetings.

Garden, if not on a privately owned land, is a public place for access by anyone without any restriction. Unless any unlawful activities are undertaken by any of them or prohibition to any specific activies is made by some official order, they cannot be restrained from playing in the garden.

Agreeing with Mr Dhingra and Mr Burman i would add that Playing of children cannot be seen as an activity separate from right to life.
Every housing society has some one not happy to see children playing.

Dear Mr. Kapoor,
Since it is a public place, water tank is there. Otherwise, water tank should also not be there. If persons aged 30 years play in that public place, you can also find 60-70 years old retired employees also playing cards in the same garden.
I again repeat, public places are meant for public use for any lawful activity, unless specifically prohibited by an authorised Government authority.

It is better you give a police complaint and get all your doubts sorted out.

It id Garden and not a Playground.
Though it is allowed as Pvt ground, If majority of the view that hours be restricted , or that age group be restricted to 12 years, or that it cannot be used for certain games that create nuisance, noise or damages glass windows etc, Society Resolution can be passed, and it can be stopped.

Self discipline of the locality residents is the best option in the given problem. If society members impose restriction over them then it can easily be enforced.
