Are you looking for some activities for your child/children? Here is a list of local activities or links.

Thursday's 10:00am to 12:00pm Toddler Time at the George Mullen Center 4956 City Center Blvd, North Port
North Port Chamber of Commerce Events
Sarasota County Library Calendar

Here is a list of local parks/playgrounds:

Butler Park: go east on Price Blvd; just past the Middle School turn into parking lot for soccer fields; follow road back behind ball fields and maintenance sheds; park has two play structures, sand and picnic shelter (sometimes bathrooms are unlocked)
Dallas White Park: go east on Spring Haven Dr to Pan American; turn left onto Appomattox; turn right onto North Port Blvd; turn left onto Greenwood Ave; parking lot is first right (YMCA/Police Dept parking lot) or you can park on shoulder heading in; park has two play structures, sand, swings, picnic shelter and there are bathrooms at the YMCA/NP Pool on the left as you go in
Blue Ridge Park: go east on Price Blvd; turn right onto Salford Blvd; turn right onto Cuthbert Ave (turns into Ridgewood Dr); park is on right; park has two play structures, sand, swings and picnic shelter (no bathrooms)
Franz Ross Park (in Port Charlotte relatively near shopping): going south on Route 41 turn left onto Toledo Blade (this is the one after the mall - not the NP Toledo Blade); turn right onto Quesada Ave; park in on right - first turn takes you into YMCA parking lot, second turn-in takes you past ball fields, park is towards back; park has two play structures, bark, picnic shelter and LOTS of shade (there are bathrooms but I'm not sure if they are kept unlocked)

For those moms that are new to playing in sandy playgrounds then trying to get your kids clean before getting in the car: baby powder makes the sand fall right off with the added benefit of making them smell nice!
