  • A variety of open play opportunities, including:
    • Imaginative art activities
    • Basketball court access with basketballs for free play
    • Fun obstacle courses designed for kids of all abilities
  • A resource table with information and supports for families
  • Snacks and bottled water available throughout the event

Staff support at the event includes:

  • Helping dads connect with one another
