Outdoor Fun
Easter is good weather’s first holiday, take advantage of it! Hopefully the Spring weather will cooperate and allow you and your family to enjoy all the parks, playgrounds, and walking trails this Easter weekend. The Fort Findlay Playground at Emory Adams Park or the playgrounds at Rawson Park are a great opportunity to burn off some energy. Or, enjoy a walk through Oakwoods Nature Preserve (It’s a favorite of Visit Findlay blogger Zach!), check out the waterfalls at Riverside Park, and take your furry friend to the Dog Park at Riverbend. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors this Easter!
