Parks, trails, and playgrounds offer endless enjoyment, but the excitement can quickly deflate if you forget essential items. Here's a list of eight things to keep in your trunk to ensure every park outing is a blast for the whole family:

  1. An old towel for wiping down wet or muddy slides.
  2. A spray bottle of water to cool down hot slides and swings (or a regular water bottle will suffice!).
  3. Spare pants for when shorts just won't cut it on scorching slides.
  4. A change of clothes to tackle messy play without worrying about the ride home.
  5. Inexpensive flip-flops or water shoes for both parent and child, perfect for spontaneous creek exploration.
  6. Bug spray and sunscreen to keep the family protected from the elements.
  7. A blanket for impromptu picnics or lounging on the grass.
  8. Wipes and hand sanitizer, essential for outings to places with live animals.
