Here is a list of ideas for fun family activities at the park:

• Fly a kite
• Take a ball
• Tennis rackets
• Cricket
• Baseball
• Go on a bush walk, take a reference book on nature / local wildlife, so you can identify flowers, trees and various vegetation and wildlife
• Take your camera, binoculars, drawing paper- coloured pencils
• Enquire if there are ducks or other wildlife at the park you are going to - can you feed them, if so take some bread
• Are dogs allowed [on a leash]? Don't forget your water bowl for your dog.
• The Sydney Olympics have put the spotlight on sport - why not organise your own Mini-Olympics, invite family and friends to the park, make medals and have ribbons, take lots of photos if you have a video, don't forget it.
• Make model/paper aeroplanes before your outing, go to the park and fly them.
• Find a park, which has a lake, enquire if you are allowed to sail model boats in the water.
• Take your video/camera, capture those precious moments.
