Lace-up your sneakers, head outside and join in a free day of family fun and activities celebrating the 15th anniversary of Kids to Parks Day, a national day of outdoor play celebrated annually on the third Saturday in May.
Wellington invites the community to its free Kids to Parks Day event for all ages, in combination with a Bicycle Rodeo for ages 5 to 13, on Saturday, May 17, from 9 a.m. to noon, at the Wellington Amphitheater (12100 W. Forest Hill Blvd.).
Kids to Parks Day activities will include bounce houses and inflatables, character entertainment, crazy games, face painting and glitter tattoos, an inclusive inflatable, laser tag, lawn games, music and dancing with Digital Vibez, a rock wall, sports activities and vendors.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to get to know local first responders with Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, and explore vehicles from their fleet.
The Bicycle Rodeo for ages 5 to 13 will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. in combination with the Kids to Parks Day event to encourage and promote safe bicycling in the community. The Bicycle Rodeo will be located in the parking lot adjacent to the amphitheater, near Ken Adams Way, on the southeast side of the Town Center complex.
Water and snacks will be available for participants and attendees, and a limited number of bicycles and helmets will be available. Attendees should bring their own helmet and bike in order to participate.
