Think about your feet

Let's take a minute to talk about proper footwear for different parks. 
  1. Always start by wearing shoes, until you've inspected the park and agree going barefoot is indeed safe without any risk of sharp objects about
  2. If anyone is going to climb they should have good grips (barefeet) or closed toe shoes (flip flops and crocs are not good climbing shoes) 
  3. Think about the senses.... If nobody likes sand between their toes then socks and closed toe shoes are a must at these types of parks, and don't forget to think about yourself..... Do You like sand between your toes?? What about wood chips poking about your sandals? 
  4. Water shoes on splash pads are highly recommended not only for safety to avoid slipping, but also to avoid scratches on feet if falls occur (since most are pavement)
  5. An extra pair of shoes are a must if you are park hopping like we do (or visiting a splash pad on a whim)
  6. Obviously don't break out your brand new dress shoes as they won't stay clean for long 
  7. Plan for the weather and dress accordingly (unless you always wear flip flops in the snow)

Plan ahead, stay safe, and think about your feet.
