Families in the Park
Families in the Park is a free stay-and-play program that brings recreation for children ages four to 10 directly to parks across Clarington (programming may be adapted for younger children with parent/guardian assistance).
Our Families in the Park staff will be at various park locations Tuesdays through Saturdays throughout the summer running a variety of crafts and activities. No registration required! Simply pop-over to our Families in the Park tent and our staff will help guide your child through a variety of fun activities.
Programming varies based on participants in attendance and may include active and passive games, crafts, and classic, oversized games like Connect Four, Tetris, building blocks, and more!
NEW! Fun for adults too. Enjoy an outdoor fitness class on Thursday evenings while your children take part in staff-led activities. Be sure to check the online drop-in calendar for weekly themes and class schedules.
Parents/guardians must remain on-site for the duration of the activity. Washroom facilities are not available at all locations. This outdoor program is dependent on weather and weather forecasting and may be cancelled due to inclement weather. Please visit our online drop-in calendar for the most up-to-date schedule.
