During our travels throughout the summer and fall, my son and I regularly stopped at playgrounds to allow him to stretch and blow off steam after long car rides. On every occasion, we were approached by other families who either welcomed us to the area or just wanted to chat and get to know us. In the small town of Clearwater, Minnesota, for instance, a family came right over, asked if we were moving to the area, and immediately offered to show us around.

Want to foster a sense of community? Parks are much cheaper than show public works projects.
