Due to their call to the police, the Mercers and I agreed to attend arbitration, provided by the county where we live. We
agreed that the children would not play on the playground equipment after 6:30 pm on weeknights or all day Sunday.
They would have full use of the playground for almost the entire day on weekdays and all day Saturday.
The Mercers would prohibit their children from climbing on the fence, or paying attention to me or my yard from the play equipment, and try to get them to stop screaming unnecessarily.
I agreed
to place a shield in front of my security camera blocking my view of the trampoline. I got a few weekday hours where I could be guaranteed peace and quiet in my home and back yard and all day Sunday. I would have preferred Saturday, but I knew I was not going to get that.
And Jeff Mercer said that Sundays are no problem anyway since "Sunday is Family Day".
The agreement did not prevent the children from playing anywhere else during these times, just not in the playground area.
It was also agreed that we would not discuss the agreement with the neighbors.
There was a provision where each of us could call the other for a temporary relaxation of the rules for special occasions. I have never used this provision. They used this provision many times, although never excessively in my opinion.
