Potawatomi and Kennedy Parks join in 'Kids to Park Day' celebration

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - South Bend Venues Parks and Arts are hosting two celebrations on Saturday as part of the nationwide "Kids to Parks Day".

The day aims to encourage kids and families to get active and connected with nature in the community.

The public is invited to Potawatomi Park and Kennedy Park for family-fun filled with field games, activities, music and live entertainment, and community resources.

Both events go from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The activities are for kids ages 3 to 12, but organizers say all are welcome to get outside and play.

Both parks will have inflatables, red spin chairs, yard games, yoga, Zumba, Spark, and community booths.

The day is part of an initiative by the National Park Trust and each year, an estimated one million families get outside to enjoy their local parks during "Kids to Parks Day" events all over the country.
