Growing up I spent the entire summer at our local playground and swimming pool. Wake up, eat, run out and don’t come home till dark; that was my daily schedule. These days some kids don’t have the opportunity to play at a park let alone swim in a community pool. This year, Sprite will invest $2 million to construct, refurbish and creatively refresh more than 150 neighborhood parks, athletic fields, school playgrounds and basketball courts. Ultimately, the goal is to give young people a chance to be physically active, inspire their imagination and create clean, safe and creative places to play for years to come.

We are lucky to live in a safe, low traffic neighborhood so that the kids can go outside ride bikes, play with chalk, play tag and run in the field. To aid in the crazy fun my kids have Sprite has provided us a really cool prize pack.

$25 AMEX GC
Sprite Coupon
Sprite Spark Park Pen
Sprite Spark Parks Backpack
Medibuddy First Aid Kit
Hand Sanitizer Wipes
Green Jumprope
Sizzlin’ Cool Sling Racket or Baseball Glove set
Crayola 3-D Chalk Set
Everything Kids Travel Activity Book
Tootle Turtle Bubble Set

The kids instantly took the 3-D Chalk outside and covered my driveway and themselves in every color under the sun. The Melissa and Doug Toot Turtle Bubble Set was a hit too; the bubbles were often bigger than their heads.
