If you’re a parent looking for an exciting variety of spring break activities to keep your kids busy and entertained, look no further than Woodchase Park. Westchase District has planned a fun and diverse programming schedule that will have your kids demanding a “staycation” rather than that spring break getaway you’ve enjoyed in previous years. And everything is FREE for your family to enjoy!
