History

June 2014 I started a Facebook group called Summer Frugal Fun for local moms to meet and visit different local places for kids to socialize together. With many members joining and no responces to get togther I decided to change the direction of the group for others to view information instead. Starting at about 40 members it has now grown to over 1,160 members . There has been an amazing community of people who have joined and help share events they find as well as ask and answer questions. This site is becoming an additional way for other people in our community to access this information.

Jen has been an amazing sidekick in helping me over the last few summers gather pictures of parks and splash pads. She is an amazing photographer, super mom, great blogger and a very amazing person to know. I can't thank Jen enough for helping me with the splash pads pages, as well as helping to keep me up to date on all sorts of updates on parks. 

Great work Jen keep it up.
