Swimming is always a popular summer activity, and the pools are still open for a few more months. Take the kids after school or on the weekends, or skip out of work for an afternoon and go yourself.

Spraygrounds, a popular new twist on the playground, are also fun. They incorporate water hoses, sprinklers, and sprays into the playground.

Get out and enjoy nature. There are plenty of parks and outdoor locations in and around St. Petersburg. Head over to the Boyd Hill Nature Park for a nice, relaxing walk, or go play games and have a picnic at Pioneer Park. These are just two of the amazingly beautiful locations nearby.

Another great outing is to go to Tampa Bay. The water is absolutely gorgeous! You can rent a boat, go sailing, play on the beach, or even visit with the dolphins at the Dolphin Landings Charter Boat Center.

If you’re a sports fan, you can check out the Tampa Bay Rays major league baseball team. They play at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. They will be playing a number of games at home through October.

Of course, you can have a lot of summer fun in your own back yard. Just set up your own little swimming pool, have a cookout, or play some basketball. No matter what you do, enjoy the rest of the summer!
