Thinking back to a place where my brother and I used to play and spend long summer hours would be our neighborhood park. I remember this park being a great big green field of endless grass with a huge hill that we used to roll down. Actually, if I remember correctly, there were two huge hills! It was also a park where baseball dreams came true. Many families would watch their children hit home runs or catch a fly ball, and we would hang around the concession stand licking our freezies and stuffing our mouths with five cent candies. There was no playground but we made the most of it by kicking a soccer ball or playing catch with a football. In the winter time, we would bring our sleds and slide down the big hills with other neighborhood kids.
Nowadays I'm bringing my kids to the park! We spend endless hours exploring parks around the city including the one down the street from our house, which has a nice playground, a huge soccer and baseball field, a small basketball court, a wading pool and a tiny "recreation" center. It's great for our neighborhood but could definitely use some upgrades.
Luckily, Kraft Canada and TSN have just launched the fifth annual Kraft Celebration Tour!
