This upcoming Saturday, May 17, marks the 15th annual Kids to Parks Day, an event where the Town of Leesburg encourages families to explore its wide range of playgrounds. As part of this initiative, Leesburg will be promoting its parks and recreational areas on social media from now until May 16, urging families to visit as many locations as possible throughout the week. This national campaign aims to bring children and their families closer to nature by organizing various activities in local, state, and national parks.

Kids to Parks Day takes place annually on the third Saturday of May, serving as a celebration of outdoor play. The town is actively participating in this nationwide movement by highlighting its own vibrant parks and encouraging residents to disconnect from digital devices and reconnect with nature. Event Coordinator Corey Lemons expressed enthusiasm about the event, noting that it provides an excellent opportunity for families to enjoy the beautiful parks within Leesburg.

The initiative not only fosters a love for outdoor exploration but also promotes healthier lifestyles among children and families. By engaging in outdoor activities, participants can discover new aspects of their community while enjoying quality time together. Throughout the week leading up to the main event, Leesburg will share captivating content showcasing its park system, inspiring families to venture out and experience these spaces firsthand.

Families are invited to embrace the spirit of adventure and make the most of this special occasion.
