We have the most fabulous park near our home. Huge, well maintained, excellent, interesting equipment, walking/biking paths. Absolutely fabulous. But parks, like everything else, have their ebb and flow during the week. If I go too early in the day, there’s noone there (which for kids is not as much fun as you might think). If I go too late, its full of pre-teens, which means the kids come home saying things like *wHATevah* and invariably my littlest one has been injured trying to copy the “big kid” stuff. Saturday and Sunday mornings though, those are prefect. Good blend of big kids and little kids, active engaging parents (anyone whose made it to the park by 10am on a Saturday with kids has to be fairly active. All in all it’s a pretty nice day out for all.
