We Don't Park Around

Since my last Park post Sawyer and I have been busy driving around town and hitting up parks, some even more than once.  From a Park date with Daddy to play dates with his pals, if you didn't know already the park is the place to be. Well, that is if you are a stay at home and need ways to get yourself out of the house.
Our next check off the Parkscapades list was Stagecoach Park. Located by my old high school La Costa Canyon this cute park is designed specifically for 2-5 year olds. Swings, Sand, Slides and a great open green area to run around. You couldn't ask for more. Love the red white and blue colors too.

Our next Parkscapade was extra special because Daddy decided to come along. After some errands we stopped by Hosp Grove Park. Tucked in the corner between the 5 freeway and the 78 along the Lagoon. I can't believe that I had never seen it before. While small, it's just perfect and I love that it's surrounded by eucalyptus trees and has several trails that I will be cruising on with Sawyer sitting his BOB.

Sound the choir, we need an AHHHHHH! to introduce this next park. Brand spanking new and as nice and you could ever imagine Alga Norte Community Park is now the park to go to. Seriously state of the art.  Impressed is an understatement. This playground is just one feature in this massive new park. Skateboarding ramps, dog parks, Baseball fields and the pool where Sawyer and I were some of the first to take swimming lessons. After lessons a few times we meet with up with his buddy Koa for a playdate.

 I really liked the feeling of Cottonwood Creek Park in Encinitas from the moment we walked in. The huge gazebo. The open grass. The playground with some unique features I have yet to see. Like a  giant boulder to climb. Little houses and a teater toter. Plus off to the right is a creek with a cool bridge.
I took Sawyer then met up with his buddy Jake for a Valentine's Day photo shoot.

So I added myself to a Mom's group on Facebook. Yeah I'm that mom who just invites herself, but hey
you gotta get out and meet people somehow. Plus it was a Monday PARK date. Perfect. I met some of the moms and there little ones at Sun Vista Park in Carlsbad/La Costa area. This one is actually pretty close to Stagecoach but way smaller. Not even a bathroom. Not so bueno when you have potty training toddlers on hand. Probably won't be back to this one, but not bad if you just walked to it from your house.

S is not just for Sawyer it's also for Sweet and that is the best way to describe Moonlight Beach Park.
A stunning view from the swings and slides and a place you can grab some snacks just around the corner. A summer time must for sure.
