I don’t know about you but its been a long winter and I’m very ready for summer. One of the best parts of summer is taking my kiddos to the local playground. It’s a fantastic family activity that doesn’t cost any money. We get fantastic quality family time and don’t have to spend a dime to do it.

The playground is an amazing place to bring your children. It provides a great sense of community and teaches your children to socialize out of their normal circles. My son is incredibly social and loves to make new friends every time we go. I love that he is comfortable in any group of children. It makes me feel better about his jump into school.

Another great benefit of playgrounds is the physical activity! Your kiddos are getting great exercise running and climbing. In today’s world focused on screen time, outside play is very important. Exercise is so important to help combat childhood obesity. So let your children run, play and explore this summer!
