We’re officially in the holiday season, and the list of things to do is endless. We’re here to help you find the perfect outing for your family. Since it’s officially Hanukkah, be sure to visit at least one of the numerous community menorah lightings happening this weekend in addition to seeing tree lightings and holiday shows. Want to take a break from the holiday happenings? We suggest checking out the new Esports XP League branch in Kirkland. And since we're nearing the end of the year, we wanted to reflect on all the incredible playgrounds that opened in 2023 as we anxiously await for new playgrounds to open in 2024.  Until then, we recommend taking your little climber to Chestnut Ridge Park.
