5 Family Fun Activities You Can Do at a Park

Are you tired of seeing your kids glued to the sofa watching TV or playing video games when it's an amazing sunny day? Well, it's time to get them up and outside for some real-life fun!

1. Have a picnic

Can you ever be too young or too old for a picnic? Grab a basket and blanket for a lazy, languid feast on a grassy park lawn. Load some sandwiches, fruits and juice and hike to the perfect spot near a pond or lake. Do not forget to take some extra bread to feed the ducks.

2. Play ball

Many community parks have fields for volleyball and baseball. An open field is a fantastic place to practice your skills. Your children can invite their friends to play together.

3. Learn about nature

Are you interested in some close encounters of the natural kind? State and national parks teem with wildlife, both the ambulatory and stationary the kinds. You can expose your children to the wonder of nature and learn about interesting plants or animal species that inhabit various environments.

4. Family bike rides

Cycling is great. Everyone knows that. It’s never too late to buy bikes and have a lot of fun. However, please don’t forget to wear helmets.

Your children will have so many happy memories of bike riding with the family.

5. Play with your dog

The dog is most definitely a part of your family. Fortunately, a lot of parks are dog friendly. It's definitely a good idea to spend your free time with the whole family.
