BENTO Asian Kitchen + Sushi (Newberry Road)

A short, easy woodland loop through pine woods and a shady hammock, so even small legs finish it. Good for spotting birds; there's no playground.

Paint a pottery piece on a walk-in visit, or sign up for a canvas or clay class. Pieces are fired, so pickup is about two weeks later.

Empanadas, chicken and rice, and a case of pastries: a gentle first go at Cuban food, with familiar sides for the picky one.

An easy trail through shady woods by two creeks, with activity guides for spotting birds, trees and creek life. It's one-way, so the walk back adds up.

A playground with an open field beside it and shady trails through the oaks. The trails edge a creek, so stay close on the uneven bits.

A space-themed playground built for kids of every ability: ramps, flat surfaces, activity boards and a communication board. It's lit after dark.
