Looking for a fun, unique, and active way to get the kids outside this season? Head over to FDR Park for free walk-up archery every Wednesday from May through November!

Hosted by Friends of FDR Park and Find Your Path PPR, this outdoor experience is open to anyone ages 10 and up - and no experience or registration is needed. Just walk up, grab some gear, and learn how to aim and shoot with the help of friendly staff. All bows and equipment are provided, so you just need to show up and be ready for fun!
📍 Location: At the Lakes in FDR Park - near the baseball fields (opposite 95)
🎯 When: Wednesdays | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
💥 Cost: FREE
✅ No sign-up required
This is a great chance for tweens, teens, and even parents to try something new and practice a little focus and patience - while soaking up some fresh air. You’ll find the archery station across from I-95 and the baseball field, just before the skatepark.
Whether you're looking for a midweek homeschool PE activity, an unplugged adventure, or a unique outing for older kids, archery at the park is a total bullseye.
