We've had some great days with the grand kids at the Polo Grounds when its not a match day. We set up a race using a soccer ball or just plain running. Depending on the age we have them race with or without ball from end to end, 300 yards, or side to side about 200 yards. It adds to the enjoyment if you tell them your going to time them. After two races at that length, they will sleep early and well giving you time to plan the next adventure. Great for Frisbee tossing as well.

Someone told me there is a kite flying area near Mulberry. We used to fly kites at the Polo Grounds but I'm not sure its permitted. Perhaps its just restricted on certain days. I believe on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the radio controlled model planes fly at the Polo fields. Our grand kids enjoyed watching. The "pilots" were really nice people who were happy to answer the kids questions.

You can buy a modestly priced radio controlled boat at the hobby store in Wildwood on 301 southbound, center of town. Great places to run them in the Villages especially up around the ponds near Spanish Springs. That hobby store in Wildwood has some great model planes and boats on display as well. The kids have had fun with some very inexpensive balsa wood planes (under $5, some under $2 if I recall) we purchased at that store. You know, the kind we used to buy for a nickle back in 19____. You can fly them almost anywhere. We had fun at one of the softball fields when no teams were playing.

Tall Trees miniature golf was also a great suggestion.

I believe the pools are heated so all you need is a warm day to enjoy a dip.

Have fun.
