Summer is right around the corner! With the UVI reaching a high EIGHT these past couple weeks, and the temperature being in the constant upper 60s and 70s, I’ve got some great ideas for you to do with your significant other or bestie in these upcoming months.
To start off: Amazon Pool will be open soon! The local pool can be a great way to get some sun in while exercising, and to just hang out with people close to you! The pool is relatively a good price to get in and they have snack stands so you don’t have to worry about bringing food. Since it’s so close to the school, Amazon can be a great activity to go to once the bell rings.
Next I’ve got paddling/swimming in lakes. There’s a couple of great spots nearby, including Fern Ridge, Dexter Reservoir, and Cottage Grove Lake. All three have easy access points and can be amazing spots to have a little getaway from the stress of school and life. Now that testing for AP and IB is over, lots of people are going to have more time to get outside, so make sure to take advantage!
Alton Baker Park also offers some great walking paths and beautiful scenery that can be a great way to bond with your friends or significant others. Biking can also be a great activity to do here as it’s very popular and spacious paths make it easy to bike with your loved ones without worrying about the path being big enough.
Putters Family Entertainment Center on Highway 99 also has lots of fun activities to do with loved ones. There’s mini golf, an arcade, laser tag, and a pizzeria. Mini golf can be played with any number of people, and laser tag needs at least four people, so it can be a perfect place for double dates or group hangouts.
