It’s shaping up to be a BEAUTIFUL weekend in the Queen City! Want to get out with the kids and make the most of it? Me too! Here are my top five pics for this surprisingly spring-like weather:
1. Four Mile Creek Greenway: Whether your goal is to go for a run with the jogging stroller or walk while the kids ride their trikes, this is a smooth and mostly-flat slice of greenway heaven!
2. Freedom Park: The Princeton Rd. Playground is my favorite at this park, but the one off of the East Blvd. entrance is great too! Or you can skip the whole playground thing and just go for a picnic on the tiered green space and a walk around the lake! Bring some bread to feed the ducks too!
3. William R. Davie Playground: This totally enclosed large play area is perfect for the five and under crew. Parents (and babes) can hang out under the shaded pavillion; kids can discover the different play sets.
4. James Boyce Park: This park combines the best of the greenway and playground worlds! Easy access to McAlpine Greenway beyond the playing fields and a great playground at the parking lot (with bathrooms)!!! Go for a walk, then let the kids romp!
5. Bocce Ball Court at the Sugar Creek Greenway: Looking for a fun family activity? And happen to love the Italian sport of Bocce Ball? Me too! Check out the gravel bocce courts close to uptown. You can walk the Sugar Creek Greenway and play a round or two of Bocce. Just be sure to bring your own set. They do not have them there.
Happy Friday!
