When the sun comes out and the weather warms up, families and friends of all ages look for meaningful ways to enjoy time outside together.
If you are looking for fun, multigenerational, and accessible ways to enjoy the outdoors this summer, here are six of the best outdoor activities for BC seniors.
Play Giant Yard Games
You’re never too old to play! Bring the generations together with supersized lawn versions of childhood classics like giant Jenga, Kerplunk, or Connect Four. We always have a laugh with these fun and easy-to-play games that can be enjoyed at any pace and in any outdoor space.
Try a Birdwatching Safari
Birdwatching is officially trendy! Take a walk through your local green space and keep your eyes and ears open. Discover the birds around you by downloading the free Merlin Bird ID app. It actively listens to the chirping around you and instantly tells you exactly which birds are singing!
Visit a Community Splash Park
Sit in the shade and soak up the uplifting energy of kids playing. Enjoy an afternoon of great people-watching, and when you’re ready to beat the heat, step into the gentle mist zones to cool off instantly!
Enjoy Local Events
Experience the vibrant culture right in our backyards! Our seniors’ communities are located in Langley and South Delta, and we love local events like Langley City’s Arts Alive Celebration, the Fort Langley Jazz Festival, the Tsawwassen Sun Festival, or a Sunday morning stroll through the Ladner Village Market. Your community will have free fun that everyone can join in.
Relax at Local Parks & Beaches
Pack a comfortable lawn chair, some favourite snacks, and find a shady spot near the water at your local beach or regional park to soak in the refreshing summer breeze. Do some research ahead of time to ensure the location you choose has the accessibility options you need.
Take a Scenic Country Drive
On extra hot days, crank up the car’s A/C and take a cruise through BC’s beautiful rural roads. Make a day of it by stopping at a local ice cream shop for a cool treat!
Summer Safety Tip: No matter which activity you choose, always remember to pack plenty of water, apply a high-quality sunscreen, and bring a wide-brimmed hat to keep the BC sunshine comfortable and safe!
