When was the last time you went for a walk in the park?

It has been a long time for me. Actually around 25 days ago, I took the kids to the park to let them play with their jumbo flying disk and to play on the swings.
Before that, when we lived in house, we went to the park rather frequently at least 4 to 5 times a month. That was before we moved from our house to a townhome community.
When was the last time you spent a day in the park? Was it with your significant other, your kids, or just by yourself? Did you go to see a baseball of football game?

Yesterday. I was nice and sunny about 48 degrees so my daughter-in-law and I took my grandkids to the park. We pushed them on the swings, cheered them while they climbed the structures and slid down the slides. We ran a couple of foot races (the kids won) It was a great day. We're going to do it again next week at a different park (if it's not raining)

Sounds like the adults has just as much of a blast as the kids did. Hope it doesn't rain next week, so that everyone can enjoy themselves once more.

Actually my husband and I take the girls to the park every weekend. We have a really nice park by our house and it even has a skating area for winter fun. Although my daughters aree too young to actually skate, we take them there and we kinda slid across the ice. They get such a kickout of it and my husband and I just love making them happy, any excuse to get out and enjoy some fresh air is a blessing. In the spring and summer, we spend more time outside at parks and such with them, than we do inside the house.

the last time i was in a park would be...probably about a year ago. it was just me and one of my friends. we missed being a kid and thought to ourselves that it would be nice to go back, forget our problems,and just go have some good clean fun.
it was fun, but like all good things, it ended and i haven't been back since. i had to go back to reality and face the hardships of every day life... but i'd do it again in a heartbeat. i makes you smile =] ((very peaceful and serene))

Life is funny, you can't run from it and you can't live without it.

Hi, last time I went to the park for a walk was at Christmas time. I have a beautiful 500 acre park near me and I took the kids to fly their kite that they got for Christmas. It was cold so we haven't been back since but in the summer I like to go every weekend. Its lovely to be out in nature:)

Yeah, it's been too cold lately here as well. Wow a 500 acre park nearby and that close eh. Good for your family. Nature is such a beautiful thing.

A walk in the park, all by myself, i think it was about a month back. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. Not for anything else but it was serene and quiet and the sound of children playing and enjoying themselves brought about some great memories.

It's amazing how children seem to bring out those good memories, isn't it.

I could not tell you for sure. Probably sometime last summer. I have grandkids I take to the park from time to time. Hubby and I sometimes go to the park. We have lots of neat parks, some with walking paths, in our town.

The last time i walked in the park is last month, 26th of January. That's when my fiance is here, we went there evening just for a walk and to spent quality time together before he's flight the day after. The park is in the center of the city so it's kinda far from where i live. Right now i do my walking just around the village and the memory with my fiance reminds me when i do walking. It is my daily exercise now and i do that every afternoon on my way to the wet market.

It has been at least a month since I went for a walk in the park as it is winter here and there is too much snow to be out walking!

Many many years ago! This is something that I have not done in a very long time and I guess I'm starting to miss that lovely fresh air! It sounds like you have quite a lot of fun when you venture down to the park though. I generally like cycling and I choose to do this and if I pass a park on my journey I may well take a break inside. Andrew

I think the last time i went for a walk in the park was some a year ago. I usually went for walk as a form of my exercise so that I will be able to shed some fats. I wish I will take time again walking to the park so that it will help me lose some pounds though at time i get to lazy to do it. Walking can really be fun especially if you have your friends with you or your special someone. Maybe I should start putting that on the top of my list again.

The last time when I went to the park was almost a week. Though the reason was not walk or exercise but the only motive was to have fun with the family. But I am seriously looking forward to start my morning walks and try and be fit again.

It's about a month or so back. Earlier I used to go to part everyday. But now I hardly get time to spend in a park walking or whiling away.
