It's tough to not go when your kids are visiting and they want to see these parks. Glad you decided to call it a day. You lasted longer than I would have!
ouch! with all due respect, any place with a potential for crowds has been a no visit zone for us forever.

We avoid shopping centers on weekends, and when there were offspring, we'd hit the museums here kin DC on weekdays. Until midway through High School when math class was a daily must, we pulled them from class early and went on 'educational' outings where they usually learned more form us than in class.

Today with telecommuting, flex time, and other alternative forms of work and learning, it would be a no brainer for us to do things on weekends.

The way it's set up, Americans are shopping and recreating on weekends, and that's when we find safe harbor working in our stores.

Because it slows down in the winter, that's when we snowdrift in and out of TV, even though it's the 'high' season. Since we don't golf, the only small challenge is the traffic, and that;s where the bicycles come in handy.
There's always room on the trails, roads, and in the bike racks by the doors of the stores.

Good luck a the parks.
