From Memorial Day to Labor Day in the Corridor, it is officially splash pad season! While my kiddos certainly have their favorites, we love to pack a  picnic and set off to explore a new-to-us location to get our splash on.

Here, I'm highlighting some of our favorite splash pads to frequent, as well as offering an extensive list of places to splash as you make your way around Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, and surrounding communities this summer.  Enjoy! And, share your favorite in the comments!

Looking for a way to get your splash on without the crowds? Check out this list of awesome creek stomping locations in the Corridor!

Tiffin City Park, Tiffin
With a fence surrounding it, the Tiffin City Park splash pad makes it easier to keep an eye on little ones as they play. The pad is very sunny, but a nearby picnic shelter can offer some shade.
Picture
Cedar Valley Park, Cedar Rapids
​Surrounded by mature trees, this splash pad is one of our favorites! With a nearby play structure and plenty of green space, it is a great park for running and play, though pack some bug spray as the nearby creek can make it a bit buggy.
Picture
Noelridge Park, Cedar Rapids
Located at the northeast corner of the park, this tucked-away splash pad offers an alternative to the busy Noelridge pool scene.
Picture
 Hayes Park, Cedar Rapids
This splash pad has some more forceful features that rotate through a cycle. The nearby structure has some interesting climbing options and the splash pad is quite sunny.
Picture
Cleveland Park, Cedar Rapids
While this splash pad definitely shows its age, it has the distinct advantage of relatively low water intensity, making it friendly for even the littlest explorers.  Nearby shade and bathrooms are also a plus!
Other Cedar Rapids Splash Pad locations:

Winter Bucket List: outdoor family adventures in Iowa City and Cedar Rapids

11/8/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
While it can be tempting to hibernate all winter long, getting outside - even for 20 minutes a day - can be crucial for maintaining our circadian rhythm.  So layer up, and get out!

A few tips for winter adventures:

When the weather is truly cold, I like to pick locations that offer dual outdoor/indoor fun. We start outdoors and last as long as we can, knowing the fun can continue inside. All four of the winter adventures listed below have that indoor/outdoor option!

If you have children who are reluctant to layer (ahem, my children, cough cough), ask them to pack a backpack to take on the adventure with necessary layers. This way they have what they need if they need it, and they can listen to their bodies and make changes.

Keep a wind chill chart bookmarked on your phone and consult the forecast before you go. (This can also give you a sense of whether or not layers are negotiable for outdoor play.)

Invest in winter gear. If you have the layers you need to stay warm, you will enjoy the time outside so much more.

If you or your child needs extra motivation, a thermos of hot coffee/tea/chocolate can go a long way in helping you meet your outside time goals.
Indian Creek Nature Center, Cedar Rapids

If you haven't been before, ICNC boasts a trail network that traipses through prairie, woods, and wetland. Beautiful in warmer temps, the trails offer lots to explore in colder weather, too. The outdoor classroom is a favorite of mine when I want to get us playing in chillier temps. Inside the ICNC the lobby includes several stations to explore nature as well as a bird watching room, perfect for warming fingers and toes after outside play.
Picture
Wickiup Hill Outdoor Learning Area, Toddville
The fun at Wickiup Wandering Woods, just a short walk from the parking, continues even in snowy weather. With lots to climb, build, and explore, we like to burn off some steam before heading in to play in the kid-friendly exhibits.
Picture
Picture
​F.W. Kent Park, Oxford
If you park at the Conservation Education Center, you'll find a half-mile, crushed stone, stroller-friendly trail. The perfect length for little legs on a chilly day, this hike allows you to bundle them in stroller if the weather proves a little too fierce. Pop inside the CEC after the hike and enjoy the museum area, complete with hands on exploration.
Picture

Picture
Winter Night Hike in Your Neighborhood
While I often bemoan how early it gets dark in the winter, I find it presents a unique opportunity to get us all out and moving. With the proper layers, a headlamp or flash light, and some hot cocoa at the end, my crew enjoys a night hike around our neighborhood to see lights on display. This is the perfect way to fit in some outdoor time after work and dinner, too!

Fall Bucket List: Fall Hikes in Iowa City and Cedar Rapids

8/30/2018

0 Comments

We have so much beauty here in Iowa and that really shows during the fall months. If you haven't already tried hitting the trail with your family, this is a great time to do it! Mild temps keep everyone happy and the crunchy leaves make for awesome nature sensory play. Here area some of our favorite fall hikes in the Corridor that we enjoy as a family.
Note: The hikes mentioned vary in difficulty and child safety concerns. As always, use your best judgment in choosing hikes that work for your family.

Palisade-Kepler State Park, Mt. Vernon
Picture
Sandbar along the Cedar River
A popular site for family pictures, Palisades-Kepler combines the beauty of fall foliage with the drama of the cliffs along the Cedar River. Pending river level, the extensive sandbar makes for an excellent space to play in the sand. (****Please note that river currents are dangerous and no one should enter the water.****)  The Cool Hollow Trail runs through the park and provides a moderate hiking experience. For more of a challenge, the Cedar Cliff Trail goes along the river and provides amazing views -- sturdy kid hikers will still likely need an adult assist at points on this one and young walkers will need to be up in a carrier.

Just down the river from Palisades is the quiet Ennis Preserve. This Linn County Park includes a 1-mile loop trail that takes you through prairie and woods, down to the river's edge and back. The trail has a steep stretch as it approaches the river, where little ones may need to be up in the carrier or hold a hand. Pack a picnic and enjoy a peaceful meal in the grass by the park's entrance.

Morgan Creek Arboretum, Palo
Picture
This Asian Maple is a favorite spot to play on fall hikes
Looking for a little walker and stroller friendly fall hike? The Morgan Creek Arboretum features a crushed stone path that takes you on a loop through trees and prairie with lots of open grass space to romp and play. Side explorations into the creek are available at points, so make sure to wear water proof footwear and messy play clothes.

Woodpecker Trail, Iowa City
Picture

Woodpecker Trail is a favorite of my kiddos from the time they can toddle down the trail. You can make it a kid-friendly 1 mile hike or loop it together with the connecting Squire Point Trail for more mileage. Woodpecker does come to one beautiful stone outlook point with a bit of a drop, so keep kiddos close as you approach the water.
Picture
A great adventure with kid hikers

Indian Creek Nature Center Outdoor Classroom, Cedar Rapids
Picture
Across the pond from the outdoor classroom
The Outdoor Classroom at ICNC is the perfect option if you have a little hiker who wants to explore every leaf or stick on the path. Situated around a pond, the outdoor classroom offers the chance to climb, swing, build, and explore. For more distance, you can check out ICNC's great trail network or the nearby Sac & Fox Trail, too.

This stroller-friendly paved path provides the opportunity to combine your fall hike with coffee by heading north along the trail to Capanna Coffee (which will take you through wetlands) or east to a fork and then up across 6 to Hurts Donut Co. Either option can motivate even the most reluctant of riders or walkers. And, the fall colors along the creek are a treat all on their own!

Easy hiking for an early walker
Clear Creek Trail - Half Moon Entrance, Tiffin
Looking for a quieter yet still stroller-friendly stretch of trail? The Clear Creek Trail, entered from Half Moon has a wide path and a peaceful vibe that feels more akin to a dirt trail.

Summer Bucket List: Creek Stomping in Iowa City and Cedar Rapids

5/24/2018

 
Picture
It’s no secret - I love summer adventuring with my kids. I live for packing a picnic, spending the day outside, napping the baby in a sling or on a blanket, and watching my kids tumble into bed heavy limbed and super sleepy from a summer day well-spent.
​

Today, I’m sharing a few of our favorite spots to creek stomp. These locations offer shallow waters easily accessible within a short hike from parking.  

​*Please note* summer rains can make creek beds swell and add currents that are unsafe for little walkers. Always offer careful, hands-on supervision of children around water.
Picture
Morgan Creek County Park, Palo
This park gets its name from the creek that winds throughout. The creek is most easily accessible by parking in the lower day use area parking and walking the trail north towards the campground. Once summer hits, make sure to pack bug spray, as the creek is popular with mosquitoes.
Picture
Picture
Pinicon Ridge County Park, Central City
To find this awesome creek stomping spot, take the park entrance south of the Wapsipinicon River. (The north entrance is for the campground.) Park at the trailhead for Woodpecker Hill trail (right before you reach the observation tower). Head down the trail about .5 miles until you reach “Horseshoe Falls” and a large wooden bridge.  This limestone outcropping makes a fantastic spot for splashing. Pack water shoes or rain boots to avoid any sharp rocks.
Picture
Wapsipinicon State Park, Anamosa
Dutch Creek cuts through the park and may be accessed at several points. For an easy walk, park near the playground and walk the short distance to the creek. This makes a great opportunity to alternate between the hot surfaces of the playground and the cool water of the creek. This state park has several caves which can make for a fun family day of exploration.

Bever Park, Cedar Rapids
Between the barn at Old MacDonald’s Farm and the duck enclosure, you’ll cross a bridge over a shallow creek just right for mucking about. Pack a picnic and enjoy the nearby shelter or take a hike on the dirt trail just north of the ducks.

Court Hill Park, Iowa City
The nearby structure and paved trail make for a perfect morning adventure. You can even hit the trail and park hop to Scott Park or head toward Hyvee for a grocery run or coffee.

Summer Bucket List: Favorite Parks in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City

Looking for new adventures with your kids this summer? Here is a list of our favorite parks in Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, and surrounding communities. So pack a picnic, slather up that sunscreen, and enjoy the season!
Picture
Thomas Park, Marion
Thomas Park boasts a large three-story play structure, toddler structure, sand, swings, and climbing dome. Tall trees offer plenty of shade. A large splash pad can help you keep cool in the summer months. A crushed trail connects to several other Marion parks, so bring the stroller and park hop!
Picture
Picture
Squaw Creek Campground Playground
This large playground in the center of the campground is a hit with toddlers and older kids alike. Squaw Creek also has a lovely trail system, but it is not stroller friendly. Bring your carrier for a hike through prairie, wetland, and woods. Make a stop at the day-use playground for a full-day adventure.
F.W. Kent Park, Oxford
Lots of shade and a large structure make this a great spot for a summer picnic. The lake is currently undergoing restoration during summer 2018, but when that is complete, keep this location in mind for a trip to the beach or a hike around the lake, too.
Wickiup Hill Outdoor Learning Area Wandering Woods, Toddville
The natural playscape found at Wickiup Wandering Woods can fill a day with nature-inspired play. Sand, natural building materials, and more keep imaginations busy. To cool off, head inside and enjoy several play-based exhibits.
Picture
Picture
Noelridge Park, Cedar Rapids
This playground opened the Fall of 2017, and it offers features designed for ADA compliance. In addition to play, watch geese on the pond or walk across the bridge and enjoy the beautiful flowers of Noelridge Gardens.

Penn Meadows Park, North Liberty
A large structure, toddler-sized structure, and splash-pad all in one area make it possible to enjoy the park with kids of multiple ages. Shade canopies between the structures as well as a large tree provide plenty of shade. With nearby fields, pack a kite to fly or some balls for catch or soccer.
Bever Park, Cedar Rapids
Located in SE Cedar Rapids, Bever Park is home to Old MacDonald’s Farm. Cows, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, and more can be found at the farm. Bring some coins if you’d like to feed the animals. The playground includes features nice for toddlers, and the wooded trails make you forget you are right in the city.
Picture
Picture
 Kiwanis Park, Iowa City

Picture
Picture
Pinicon Ridge Campground Playground, Central City
Play structures of various sizes, a zip line, and ADA accessible features make Pinicon Ridge a unique and delightful playground. The nearby pedestrian bridge offers a lovely view of the river. For a full-day adventure, hike down from the Woodpecker Hill trailhead to Horseshoe Falls and splash in the water or climb the observation tower. Enjoy the paved path along the river for bike or a stroll, too. (Note: Woodpecker Hill Trail and the Observation Tower are on the opposite side of the river from the campground.)

​
Mercer Park, Iowa City
This park offers a large structure with unique features, sure to entertain kids of a variety of ages. For those nostalgic for a merry-go-round from your childhood, Mercer Park includes that, too!

Four Fabulous Spring Outings for Young Families in the Corridor

4/9/2018

 
Picture
As I’m writing this blog, I know that the calendar reads April, but outside my window I see a whole lot of snow.  Get it together Iowa weather!

Despite the snow, I want to share with you four fabulous spring outings for young families in Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, and surrounding communities.  These are locations my family enjoys so much that the kids ask to go back again and again. We’ve done these hikes with baby in a carrier to get some fresh air and also with toddler and big kid siblings along.
Picture
Devonian Fossil Gorge - Flood waters tore through this area by the Coralville dam back in 1993 and again in 2008, exposing fossils from the Devonian period. The spring sees the formation of shallow (and delightful) mucky pools that teem with tadpoles. Several fossils are marked with numbered plaques, and even more fossils can be spotted throughout the whole gorge. If you have young walkers, pack an extra change of clothes. This is an adventure where little explorers are sure to investigate the water and muck. The gorge itself isn’t stroller-friendly, though the Tailwater Riverwalk just south of the gorge is paved and wide if you are looking for a short stroll.
Picture
Picture
Squaw Creek Park - We like to park in the day-use area by the Meadowlark shelter and take the trail that leads into the woods. This dirt path is not suitable for strollers, so you will want carriers for any babies or little walkers who may tire. Adults and little kids up for a short hike can make an out and back at any point. If you’re up for some exercise, continue on to make a loop through prairie, wetlands, and back up some hills on grass trail. After your hike you can enjoy the day-use playground or drive over to the campground to enjoy one of the nicest playgrounds in the county.
Picture
Iowa Raptor Project - Located in the Lake Macbride Recreation Area, the Iowa Raptor Project displays 17 birds of prey who cannot return to the wild due to injury or circumstance - including our family favorite Bald Eagle named Spirit. The birds can be found about a quarter of a mile hike from the parking on a stroller-friendly gravel trail. If you are up for a hike, Lake Macbride Recreation Area also maintains a lovely trail system.
Picture
Indian Creek Nature Center - This nature center’s trail system showcases prairie, woodlands, and wetlands. The Wood Duck Way Trail (across the street from the Nature Center building) is a particular favorite of little walkers, giving them the chance to peer into shallow water and touch cattails. ICNC also includes a fabulous outdoor classroom - perfect for making mud pies, stick shelters, and self-guided play.

Looking for  more options to get outside with little ones? The corridor area is home to two branches of the national organization Hike it Baby. Connect with Hike it Baby IC and Hike it Baby CR on Facebook.
