Sandboxes - Good Neighbors?

I share three con-joined 512s with my boyfriend (we created a group). Our plot is pretty much undeveloped. We don't keep any permanent structures there. We use it to build, and I occasionally erect backdrops for photography. I'll also be putting up a "store room" for goods sold on SL Exchange. There is occasionally a banline around one of the plots when BF is working out the kinks in scripted objects. It's usually up for a day or two at a time. Otherwise, the only restriction we put up is no-build for non-group members.

One of my neighbors just turned three of his parcels into public sandboxes. While I definitely approve of giving back to the ciommunity, I'd be curious to hear from others who've lived next door to sandboxes. Do you experience a lot of lag? Are visitors generally respectful of the place where the sandbox stops and your space begins?

My store is next to a smallish sandbox like that, and there are no problems from it. There are just generally a couple of people in it who bother nobody, and it's kind of nice to have them around.

Dearly Darlings,

I live buy a fairly large sandbox. The people who run it are charming...however, I did finally turn "building allowed" off in my yard because I was tired of cleaning up trash. Lag was bad before the sandbox moved there...I've noticed no real change, it's still laggy.

Ever Yours,

Mrs. Showdog Tiger

Excellent, thank you for the answers!
