Outdoor Activities for Long Island Families

 

The season of bloom is here, and with it comes some beautiful temperatures and scenery! For Long Island families, there are plenty of springtime activities to start participating in that are fun and safe. For those perfect weekends without rain, we’ve got some great ideas for you to enjoy below:

Picnic

Upgrade that simple lunch with a fun, outdoor eating experience! It’s so easy and doesn’t take very long to prepare for. Whether you choose your yard or a local park, it can be a great way to get out of the house. Here are all the essentials you’ll need:

• Picnic blanket or old blanket
• Basket or container for food
• Plates and utensils
• Finger foods (sandwiches, fruits, small desserts, small snacks)
• Travel safe liquid holders
• Ice packs or temperature-regulating coolers
• Trash bag

Bike Riding

When was the last time you went on a good old-fashioned bike ride? Everyone can hop onto a bike and take an extended family trip around your neighborhood or surrounding areas. It’s a great way to keep active after long days in front of the computer. Consider all the benefits of biking with your whole family every week or every other week!

Visit Famous State Parks

From Montauk Point State Park to Robert Moses State Park, there are plenty of outdoor areas open to the public to visit. Remember to search up any COVID-19 regulations before you go, but for the most part, these places require you to wear your mask while near other people or indoors. The best part about these spots is that you can easily steer clear of other people. Similar locations include:

• Caumsett State Park
• Montauk Point Lighthouse
• Cooper’s Beach
• Jones Beach State Park
• Port Jefferson
• Long Island Aquarium
• Tanger Outlets

We love Long Island, and we hope you and your family find some ways to love it a little more this spring as well!
