Frisbee and our park....

So we have this great park across the street from the house - Fulton Playfield. It used be a part of an elementary school (Fulton Elementary) that closed in the late 80's and is now a private school. The new school took over the building, but the play field became a city park, now known as Fulton Playfield. The kids always complained because there wasn't a play structure at the play field, just an open grass area. I have always thought of it as a great open space, but tended to agree with kids, it never got a lot of use because there wasn't a play structure there. That all changed with pandemic...The open grass area was one of the few parks in the area that never shut down (because it didn't have a play structure). One of my highlights every day (multiple times a day) is to see what is going at the park at any given time. Over the last 8 weeks, I have seen sun rise golf/chipping practice, family soccer games, one cricket game, daily lacrosse practice (where the Dad looks way more into than his daughter) and this morning I saw what look like two college athletes practicing discus throws...As for us, our park athletic contribution started a couple weeks ago. We are working on perfecting our Frisbee toss.  We try to practice a couple nights a week after dinner when the park starts to clear out. We aren't great, but are slowly getting better (we actually watched a You Tube video to help with our form)....Find your open park space, find your activity and enjoy...
