Visiting Local Playgrounds and Parks
In Roseville, MN, we are so lucky to have a plethora of well-maintained parks and playgrounds all around our beautiful city. The convenience of having 30 parks, 679 acres of parkland, and open space makes it almost impossible to use location as an excuse for not getting outside with the family. Make a trip to the park part of your regular routine. Your kids will love getting to burn off some energy and you can join in on the fun for some exercise. You will be amazed how much cardio it is to keep up with the kiddos!
Bike Rides
Again, we are so lucky to have tons of paved bike trails at our fingertips. Biking is a great way to get moving while enjoying family time. Remember to wear your helmets and always be. mindful of your surroundings.
