If it’s possible for you to go out to your local parks, then take advantage of this opportunity to engage in outdoor activities. Studies show that being in green spaces can be highly beneficial. You can reduce stress, breathe fresh air, improve mood, manage depression, and boost your fitness. Go alone if you want freedom of movement. Go with friends or family if want to have company. Consider the following activities for starters:
Running
If you are a fitness buff or if you simply want to lose weight, then consider running around your local park. This could be better than just exercising at home or running on a treadmill at the gym. You will be able to enjoy changing scenery as you go. You will be able to feel the wind which will cool you down naturally. You can walk when you get tired and run again once you catch your breath. Bring a bottle of water so you can hydrate even on short runs. You may want to upgrade to a hydration pack for longer runs. Run alone or with a buddy.
Disc Golf, you can also play park-friendly sports matches with a group. For example, you could bring Frisbees and play catch or take things a notch higher and play disc golf. See if your local park has a basket that is suitable for this. If not, then it should be easy to create a DIY basket for the game. Familiarize yourself with the rules. Basically, each person will take turns throwing a disc with the aim of reaching the basket first. You need to have a strong and accurate throw to do well. Find a large open area so that the discs won’t get stuck on trees.
Drone Flights
If you are a hobbyist, then take your passion outdoors. Fly your drone out in the park and polish your aerial skills. Try the different features of your unit and see how well you can maneuver despite obstacles. Make your take-offs and landings perfect. Improve your drone photography. Bring spare batteries and power banks for nonstop flights.
Picnics
If you would rather have a relaxed day at the park, then consider a picnic with loved ones. Bring simple snacks that you can pass around. Take a cooler with canned drinks and lots of ice. Find a shaded area and set up there. You could have a picnic table or just use the ground. This could be a nice way to end the day for those playing disc golf as well.
