Coupon for Pittsburgh Mills Sky Trail

I will be receiving free admission as part of the US Family Guide blogger program to review Pittsburgh Mills Sky Trails.

Pittsburgh Mills Sky Trail is a 32-foot tall, 2 level ropes course complete with 30 exciting elements including zig-zag beams, cargo nets, angled rope ladders, crisscross walks and more. Participants choose their own path through the elements and go at their own pace. The ropes course is also equipped with a Sky Rail zip line connection measuring 69′ long. Participants soar down the length of the ropes course on a self guided zipping experience and are able to enjoy it’s thrills over and over. For young adventurers, there’s a specially designed Sky Tykes ropes course for kids ages 2-7.

I know for sure this is something my boys would love to try. I wondered though, how it could be for toddlers. I’m thinking “I don’t even know if I would go up that high!” but then I saw this picture and it all made sense.

Make Going to the Playground a Discovery this Summer

This post is sponsored by the Voice of Play

Local public playgrounds are a great way to get kids moving, encourage socialization and group play, and it’s a free way to have fun with your kids over the summer. We’re lucky enough to have a couple playgrounds within walking distance and a few that are only a couple minutes drive. A few years ago I worked with a company called KaBoom to help map playgrounds in my area for their app. It was this activity that made me realize how many different playgrounds there were in our area and what each one had to offer.

I have 4 kids ranging in age from 2 – 13 and they all love going to the playground. The older boys usually shoot hoops or throw a football around while the younger ones love climbing, sliding, and exploring. One playground is smaller but it’s one of my faves. It’s within walking distance from our house, it has a nice climbing tower with a slide and swings, including a baby swing for my little one.

Another park near us has a bigger playground for the kids, a nature trail, a basketball court, volleyball courts, picnic tables, and even a skate park. This one is of course, a favorite of my older boys. I love the nature trail myself, so peaceful. The boys love it because we can see some of the wildlife like squirrels and chipmunks. They can sometimes discover salamanders under some of the rocks.

Taking my kids to the playground is summer fun that everyone enjoys and it doesn’t cost a thing. I’ll pack us up a picnic lunch and we’ll have lunch sometimes at some of the parks. This is perfect to get my kids (and myself) away from the electronics and have real family time together.

Since discovering a few playgrounds that year, it’s now a annual thing for us. We set out to find new parks, new playgrounds, new free and fun things to do over the summer. We have our sites on a place called Mammoth Park this year that has a big metal slide and a pond where you can feed ducks. I can’t wait to take the kids!

Do you have a favorite playground or park you go to? When was the last time you discovered a new one? Check out VoiceofPlay.org for more ideas!
