Instead of taking your kid to a park in your neighborhood, try taking the tot to a park or a school playground in another neighborhood.

Live near Hawthorne Elementary School? Try playing at Lakeview Elementary School.

In fact, it might be fun to go the summer visiting all the different parks and playgrounds in Albert Lea— and perhaps even the smaller cities nearby.

At any rate, it is good to give your child the gift of play. What child doesn’t enjoy exploring a different playground?
