With Father’s Day this Sunday, you may be wondering what to do with your father figure this weekend. We’ve got some ideas, from free outdoor activities to  some modified indoor ones. Keep in mind most activities in public will require a face mask.

1. Spend time outdoors

Central Connecticut offers lots of options for hiking and boating. 

Road access to Castle Craig at Hubbard Park in Meriden is open until 5:30 p.m. daily. You can also hike to the castle, or walk around the park. 

If you have a kayak or canoe to launch, try Black Pond in Middlefield or the Quinnipiac River. You can also fish at Black Pond. The Quinnipiac River can be accessed by Red Bridge in South Meriden, at the intersection of Oregon Road and River Road in Meriden and the Mill Street bridge at Town Park in Southington. For a full list of access points visit thequinnipiacriver.com.

Hiking trails include Guiffrida Park in Meriden, the Quinnipiac Linear Trail in Wallingford, Roaring Brook Park in Cheshire, and Ragged Mountain Memorial Preserve in Southington.

Whether it’s mini golf or the real thing, most courses are now open to the public.

The 30-year-old miniature golf center was recently renovated and spruced up. The first two holes were removed and replaced by a large patio with food service. 

Owner Paul Rossi said normally Father’s Day would be one of the golf centers busiest days of the year, assuming the weather is nice. This year he’s not sure what to expect, but feels confident in the safety measures they’ve added to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

“We’re all about families here and we’re all about just people coming here and having a great experience,” Rossi said.
