They say, Saturdays are for sports and Sundays are for parks. Typically, weekends for families are spent in their child's extra-curricular activities like sports, sailing, life saving, etc. I know some of my colleagues got their weekend fully booked with children's sports activities, even up to Sunday. I think that's a bit too much to commit.
We are part of the Sunday park-goers since we usually do our errands on Saturdays and just love to spend some time at the beach or at the park afterwards. Most of these beaches and parks are just 10-15mins away. Anything that's longer is probably somewhere outside central, and would be at least half an hour away. These would be the regional parks and the long stretch of beaches that are quite popular for holiday-goers.
If we're too lazy to go out, we can always just walk the kids to the nearby playground, or up the domain. Or just go for a walk within the neighborhood, and perhaps see the train. You can do all these without breaking the bank. All you need is a sturdy pair of legs, some gas (or the ATHop card for public transport) and the usual picnic items to keep everyone energized. This is such a big lifestyle change that I never thought was possible.
