I love the fall! I love the brisk, cool air, the change of the season’s colors, and the undeniable bustle of life and laughter at the parks in the afternoons. Its a time of change, from those brilliant golden hues dressing our trees to the new layers of clothing on the kids. Here are my top picks of outdoor park/recreation fun for moms, dads, and little one to enjoy all season long. Get shaking, and enjoy this colorful season!
FOR THE TINY TOTS
Whether just beginning to walk, or puffing out their little chest after a big-kid day of nursery/pre-school, these are the perfect spots for a few hours of play-date fun.
Freeborn Park This park is perfectly tailored for ages 1-3 years. In fact, we named it the baby park because all the equipment is sized just so. Freeborn Street, Newport
Newport Library Park-This park is pre-k play-date central! From use of space, to the swings, to the perfect jungle gym it makes perfect sense why moms love this park. Corner of King Street & Bowery Street, Newport
Cardines Field Key component: its fenced in! Between the toddler friendly ramps and easy climbs, this park is a little local treat. The corner of Bridge Street & America’s Cup Avenue, Newport
Simmon’s Farm This great little petting zoo provides big belly laughs amongst kiddos as the farm animals eagerly greet their little guests in hopes of being fed some of the petting zoo food Simmons Farm provides. A must do! 1942 West Main Rd., Middletown, simmonsorganicfarmri.com
