Most likely if the sun is out, you’ll find me and my kids at a park. And with this warm weather, even more reason to go outside.
Here’s a quote from Richard Louv, an American nonfiction author and journalist:
“When a child is out in nature, all the senses get activated. He is immersed in something bigger than himself, rather than focusing narrowly on one thing, such as a computer screen. He’s seeing, hearing, touching, even tasting.
Out in nature, a child’s brain has the chance to rejuvenate, so the next time he has to focus and pay attention, perhaps in school, he’ll do better…But even if kids don’t have any of the specific problems mentioned above, kids who don’t get out much lack the sense of wonder that only nature can provide.”
So Go Play Outside!
Push the kids on swings, play catch, ride a bike, take a hike. We are so fortunate to have so many great opportunities to enjoy the outdoors where we live. We are pleased to present the Macaroni Kid Walnut local park guide*!
*We make every effort to ensure that the parks we list have the most up to date information but things change, so please call ahead. We did not personally visit every park and Nor do we endorse any park over the other.
