This spring, we just can't spend enough time outdoors. While our A&G communities have playgrounds and outdoor space perfect for a day outside, we know that sometimes a beautiful spring day calls for a bit more, like picnic areas, multiple playgrounds and miles of walking and biking trails. Here are our top 5 parks to visit this spring.
