So as I embark on this journey I am searching for more indoor things to do during the winter. Obviously since I an employed at the Astoria Recreation Center (ARC) it is easy enough for me to come here and recreate. What other options do I have though? The Aquatic Center makes a great spot to hang out in as well as the Indoor Play Park, Port of Play.
First stop is the Aquatic Center and that big red slide. There is so much fun at this place and a lot of laughter too! I can get my exercise with either the weight room or I can swim laps. One of my other favorite things to do is walking around the lazy river. It is amazing to me how good I feel in the water. The children of course always enjoy a good hour or two of splashing around. It is great that Astoria has such a neat place to bring a family or to come by yourself.
Second stop is the Port of Play. This is a great place to bring pre-school aged kids. Where else in town is there a jumpy castle? It's better then jumping on my bed at home, which usually results in trouble, and it is great exercise for children. All of the stations from the museum are sure to please any age. Port of Play offers a variety of classes for younger children that are sure to please.
Finally the third stop is the new recreation center, ARC. This is an excellent place to take exercise classes if you are an adult or a teen. For the stay at home mom this center has it all. A child care center to sign your kids into while you go and exercise. There is even a lounge that you can sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. Teens especially can be active here with a room all to themselves. School aged kids can find plenty to do with the after school program, Kids Zone.
Well now we know what kind of recreation there is to do in Astoria. Stay tuned next week for some other really cool topics!
