There are many benefits to having a park in your backyard. My sweetie and I are in week 2 of daily bike rides. It's also great for playing on the playground, kites, picnics, etc. One great thing about this particular park is the science center associated with it.

We took the kids to the science center for the second time this weekend. There was a great bird exhibit this weekend. They had guest speakers with guest birds. And on top of all we learned from them, there were at least 10 different hands-on activities for the kids to learn even more about birds and their habitats. It's really nice to have these programs like these available.
