“Between lobbing discs through the trees, a quick roller-hockey session, and letting the kids conquer the playground, Central Park is basically your easy button for summer. Grab a picnic pavilion with friends this week and call it an afternoon well spent.”

“When the temps climb, Andrews Park has a legit splash pad that’s free, kid-approved, and close enough for a quick afternoon reset. Grab an ice cream from the snack shack, snag a shelter reservation with friends, and let the sprays do the tiring out for you.”
