Remember when you were younger and you spent full days at the park?  Maybe you would go fishing, skip rocks in the pond, or just barbecue.  When my children were young, we used to go to our town park nearly every day in the summer.  It was a safe place with everything from a pool to a lake to a great big hill that the kids would roll down like logs over and over again.

When I was a teenager, bowling alleys were the center for family entertainment. The only competition was a color T.V. in the living room, which didn't have that many shows. Of course that did not provide much in the way of socialization or exercise. A game was affordable at 75 cents. Even instruction was cheap.
