New parents quickly become familiar with the parks in their neighbourhood. Sometimes too familiar – it can get a teeennsy bit boring to visit the same park on weekdays and weekends. It’s great to explore new parks, but hard to know which ones have nice playgrounds, easy access, and other activities/restaurants close by. Not to mention bathrooms!
