When you live in the city with a lawn that takes less time to mow that it takes to get the mower out, you have to depend on the parks for your blow-off-some-steam time. We are fortunate to have a great community center and park within walking distance of our house. Outdoor playground, indoor heated pool, skating rink, scheduled gym playtimes for the kids, homeschool groups, sports lessons, exercise equipment (what's that?), you name it.
