Spring Break at Gatton Park offers free family activities all week long

Dozens of families spend a cool-but-sunny Monday at Gatton Park. Some climb play structures, while others toss bean bags. A group of very small ones sit on a parachute in a read-along of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar."

Dozens of families spend a cool-but-sunny Monday at Gatton Park. Some climb play structures, while others toss bean bags. A group of very small ones sit on a parachute in a read-along of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar."

Activities run from 11 to 4 each day and admission is free. Every hour, families can choose from rotating activities, including a STEAM lab, arts and crafts, story time, and open play on the rec lawn.

"And each day, we've got a special 'don't miss' moment," said Miller. "On Tuesday, we've got the Lexington Legends coming out to play baseball with us, we've got a catapult activity on Wednesday, we've got the Lexington Fire Department out with a fire truck for Touch-a-Truck on Thursday, and a community Lego build on Friday afternoon."

Spring Break at Gatton Park is not a drop-off event, so caregivers must stay with their kids. Food and drink is available at the Boxcar Café, open daily from 11 to 7.
