Warm weather beckons us to move outdoors. If the sunshine is calling you outside, here are a few ways to make the most of those sunny days.

Nature Walk
Head outdoors and commune with nature. Venture to the local park and take in the beauty of your environment as you fill your lungs with fresh air.

Attend a Sporting Event
Whether you get tickets to a minor league baseball game or attend your child’s lacrosse tournatment, getting outdoors to enjoy some good old-fashioned competition is what great weather is all about!

Picnic
If you find yourself graced with a lovely weekend day, pack a picnic and enjoy your meal outside. Bring a book so that after your lunch, you can enjoy some leisure reading.

Play a Game
Act like a kid and invite a friend to play a casual game of one-on-one basketball. Or grab your tennis racket and head to the court. Don’t worry about keeping score, just enjoy being outside!

Bright Leaf Preserve is a 200 acre wildlife respite within Austin city limits. The preserve is open to the public through free guided hikes on the second weekend of each month.  Learn about local ecological and geological history while on a 4 mile walk throughout the park.  The preserve is home to native and rare plants, as well as many species once plentiful to Texas. Note that neither dogs nor strollers are not permitted. The Bright Leaf Preserve might just be one of Austin's loveliest spots for getting out into nature!
