Parks, Popsicles, & Play: Red Bank

🌳 A sweet spin-off of our Toddler Adventure Club series!

Parks, Popsicles, & Play is a new outdoor meetup series designed to help toddlers and preschoolers connect, explore, and create in some of South Jersey’s most beautiful parks with wide-open green spaces. Each week, we’ll check out a different location—combining playful activities with a short guided nature walk, an easy craft, and time for unstructured connection and fun.

We’ll meet in the late afternoon, after nap time and out of the brightest, hottest part of the day, for a playful mix of storytime, music, movement, and interactive activities. Then we’ll head out on a short, toddler-friendly hike through the park.

Kiddos will decorate their own felt popsicle holder, a fun keepsake to use all summer long—and at the end of our adventure, each child will receive a popsicle to enjoy using their new creation!

After the session, families are welcome to stick around to enjoy the playground, spread out a blanket for a picnic, or kick off an early dinner in the park with new friends.

This week, we’re heading to Red Bank Battlefield Park in National Park, NJ—featuring scenic river views, open grassy spaces, and a beautiful butterfly garden near the historic Whitall House. Explore the riverbank, skip stones, or watch planes take off as we take in this special spot along the Delaware River.
